Commerce Court’s Powers Curtailed by Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court reversed the Commerce Court in four key inter state cases, limiting its jurisdiction to enforcing inter state commission orders and barring review of underlying facts. Chief Justice White stated the court inherits no broad new powers and must defer to the Inter State Commerce Commission on factual determinations. The decisions mark a decisive shift, upholding the commission’s control over rate regulation and narrowing judicial review.
