Supreme Court Grants Writ in Books Production Case
The Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari to review a Third Circuit ruling that shielded Pennsylvania Railroad officials from producing company books. The suits by Webster and the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Companies seek about 2 million dollars for alleged discrimination in coal car supply and rival road privileges. The trial court had ordered book production. the Third Circuit reversed, citing potential self incrimination under the interstate commerce act. The decision may affect similar pending suits and broader regulatory pressures.
