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.

Washington State v. Northern Securities Company Argued April 14, 1902 Decided April 21, 1902 185 U.S. 254
ORIGINAL
Syllabus
In the exercise of original jurisdiction by this Court, the usual practice in equity cases is to hear applications for leave to file bills ex parte, and ordinarily leave is granted as of course.
But this is not an invariable rule, and where it is apparent on the face of the proposed bill that there is a defect of parties, which cannot be supplied without ousting the jurisdiction, leave will be denied.
Where the objection is one of jurisdiction over the subject matter and tile case is of grave importance, leave to file will be granted that the fullest argument may be had.
The case is stated in the opinion of the Court.
