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.
Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. v. Lutz, 299 U.S. 300 (1936)
Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. v. Lutz No. 501 Argued December 7, 1936 Decided December 21, 1936 299 U.S. 300
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA
Syllabus
In a suit to enjoin regulation of a business which does not prevent carrying it on, the amount or value in controversy is not the value or net worth of the business, but the value of the right to be free of the regulation, measurable by the loss, if any, that would follow the enforcement of the regulation. P. 301.
Capitalization of earnings held not suitable as a basis of determining the loss attributable to temporary regulation of a business, it not appearing that the loss would exceed that which would be sustained in a short time to elapse before the regulatory statute and the order made upon it were to expire by limitation.
Affirmed.
