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.
Springstead v. Crawfordsville State Bank, 231 U.S. 541 (1913)
Springstead v. Crawfordsville State Bank No. 93 Submitted December 4, 1913 Decided December 22, 1913 231 U.S. 541
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Syllabus
In determining the amount in controversy for jurisdictional purpose the attorney’s fee provided for in a promissory note in case of suit can be considered, as it is not a part of the costs.
Failure to allege the citizenship of the original payee of a note on which suit is brought by the assignee is a jurisdictional defect, but if diversity of citizenship between the plaintiff and defendant is alleged, the defect is amendable.
Under § 299 of the Judicial Code, amendments to the pleadings are allowable if the jurisdictional amount existed when the suit was brought notwithstanding that since then the amount necessary to give jurisdiction has been increased.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court, are stated in the opinion.
