TABLE 4.-Court proceedings-Orders to cease and desist―petitions for review— lower courts-Continued 1 This table lists a cumulative total of 92 decisions in favor of the respondents in Commission cases before the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals. However, the Grand Rapids furniture (veneer) group (with 25 different docket numbers) was in reality 1 case, with 25 different subdivisions. It was tried, briefed, and argued, as 1 case and was so decided by the court of appeals. The same held true of the curb-pump group (with 12 different subdivisions), the Royal Milling Co. group (with 6 different subdivisions), and the White Pine cases (12 subdivisions). In reality, therefore, these 55 docket numbers mean but 4 cases; and, if cases and not docket numbers are counted, the total of decisions in favor of the respondents would be 41. NOTE. During the period 1919-38, inclusive, 58 petitions by the Commission for enforcemert of order to cease and desist were passed upon by courts. Of these proceedings, 54 were decided in favor of th Commission, 4 in favor of adversaries. Petitions for enforcement were subsequently made unnecessary by amendment of the Federal Trade Commission Act making orders finally effective unless review is sought by respondents within 60 days after service of an order.
