Administrative Tribunals-Right To Federal Injunction Against Administrative Orders

Michigan Law Review

The public utility commission of Ohio refused to permit the plaintiff motor bus company to operate over a portion of the route for which application was made for a certificate.

A temporary injunction was granted. Thereafter, the plaintiff took a statutory appeal to the state supreme court, which affirmed the order, after which the plaintiff sought a permanent injunction in the federal court. Held, the decision of the …

Administrative Finality, A. Martin Tollefson

Michigan Law Review

The purpose of this article is two-fold. In the first place it is intended to set forth certain determining factors (a) as to whether or not administrative decisions are subject to review in cases where their finality is challenged before the courts and (b) if subject to review, to what extent.

Public Utilities-Power Of Interstate Commerce Commision To Give Certificate Of Convenience And Necessity

Michigan Law Review

Certain coal fields in West Virginia are served by the Chesapeake and Ohio, the Norfolk and Western, and the Virginian railroads. The Chesapeake and the Norfolk compete for the westbound coal traffic coming over the Virginian which has no lines in the western part of these fields. The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized the Virginian to build a short connecting line which made possible much cheaper carriage over the Chesapeake, and authorized the Norfolk to construct a similar line in order to compete on equal terms. The Chesapeake sought a reversal on the ground that the Interstate Commerce Commission is not …

Administrative Tribunals--Judicial Notice

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff corporation, a retail distributor of gas, contracted for its supply over a three-year period from a service company, and filed its rate schedule with the public utilities commission.

These files were not introduced into evidence, but the commission took notice of them as a matter of public record. Plaintiff petitioned for an injunction against enforcement of the order. Held …


Carriers-Division Of Joint Rates Feb 1931

Carriers-Division Of Joint Rates

Michigan Law Review

The divisions here involved were those to be made in joint rates between points in southwestern territory and those in western trunk-line territory, or via western territory to and from eastern points. The line between western and southwestern territory passes through St. Louis and other Missouri and Illinois towns. The divisions of these joint rates between the carriers in these territories had been in existence for many years and were without uniform or rational basis. The Interstate Commerce Commission, investigating these divisions, found them more favor able to southwestern lines than present circumstances justified. Conditions in southwestern territory had become …
