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.
Great Western Sugar Co. v. Nelson, 442 U.S. 92 (1979)
Great Western Sugar Co. v. Nelson No. 78-1060 Decided May 29, 1979 442 U.S. 92
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES
COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Held: Upon dismissing as moot an appeal from the District Court’s order requiring arbitration of a dispute as to respondent’s discharge by petitioner -- the arbitration proceedings having been completed before the appeal could be decided on the merits -- the Court of Appeals erred in holding that the District Court’s judgment should remain in effect. Where it appears upon appeal that the controversy has become entirely moot, it is the duty of the appellate court to set aside the decree below and to remand the cause with directions to dismiss. Duke Power Co. v. Greenwood County, 299 U.S. 259; United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U.S. 36.
Certiorari granted; vacated and remanded.
