Virginia rate case shifts power from commission to courts
The Supreme Court held that the Virginia railroad rate commission acts legislatively, not as a court, and its orders can be reviewed in federal court if they violate the Constitution. It allowed the carrier to seek federal relief after state appeals, suggesting the Virginia Court of Appeals’ action is subject to federal review. Justice Harlan dissented, arguing the Virginia State Corporation Commission is a state court and rights under the U.S. Constitution can be protected through writs of error.
