Section 2108 - Notes
SOURCE
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 963.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 231 (Feb. 13, 1925, ch.
229, Sec. 9, 43 Stat. 941).
Words "or in the Supreme Court" were omitted. Section 7 of the
1925 act containing such words related to review by the Supreme
Court of the United States of decisions of the Supreme Court of the
Philippine Islands and designated a certain jurisdictional amount.
Such section 7 has now become obsolete, in view of the recognition
of the independence of the Philippines, title 48 U.S.C., 1940 ed.,
Sec. 1240, Territories and Insular Possessions, and there is no
other case wherein the power of the Supreme Court to review depends
on the amount or value in controversy.
