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.

Curriden v. Middleton No. 152 Submitted March 4, 1914 Decided March 16, 1914 232 U.S. 633
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Syllabus
The proper remedy for damage caused by fraud and deception is an action at law. Buzard v. Houston, 119 U.S. 347.
Mere complication of facts alone and difficulty of proof are not a basis for equity jurisdiction. United States v. Bitter Root Development Co., 200 U.S. 451.
An action in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia commenced on the equity side of the court cannot be transferred to the law side of that court under Equity Rule 22. That rule has no application.
37 App.D.C. 568 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
