How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • awarding defendants only those costs conceded by plaintiffs as necessary where it was “undisputed that [plaintiffs] claims, both as to jurisdiction and as to merits, were far from frivolous”
  • “Why is § 1919 controlling? Simply because this case was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Section 1919 was expressly and specifically designed to cover such a situation.”
  • “The word ‘justice’ is an elongation of the word ‘just.’ ‘Justice’ and ‘fairness’ have a close kinship. Thus, the sole question before the court in this case can be restated simply as ‘what is fair here?’ ”
