General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Cole v. Violette, 319 U.S. 581 (1943)
Cole v. Violette No. 892 Decided June 14, 1943 319 U.S. 581
APPEAL FROM THE SUPERIOR COURT
OF SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACUSETTS
Syllabus
1. In determining what is a final judgment or decree of a state supreme court within the meaning of § 237 of the Judicial Code, this Court is not controlled by the designation applied to it in state practice. P. 582.
2. A rescript from the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts to the state Superior Court embodied an order directing that the final decree of the latter court dismissing a suit on the merits be modified by the insertion of a clause "to the effect that the bill is dismissed on the ground that the questions raised have become moot," and declaring that "the decree, as so modified, is affirmed with cost," held final within the meaning of § 237 of the Judicial Code, so that an appeal applied for more than three months from the date of the order was too late. P. 582.
312 Mass. 523, 45 N.E.2d 400, appeal dismissed.
