Postum Cereal Co. v. California Fig Nut Co.
1927 United States Supreme Court case
Postum Cereal Co. v. California Fig Nut Co.
Postum Cereal Co. v. California Fig Nut Co., 272 U.S. 693 (1927), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the court held that a proceeding before the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia to review an agency action was an administrative matter and not a "case" within the meaning of Article III of the Constitution. The Court of Appeals addressed this sort of administrative matter as a legislative court commissioned by Congress to exercise Congress's power, not judicial power. As such, the Court of Appeal's decision about the administrative matter was not subject to judicial review by higher courts. Because the trademark-related reviews at issue in this case were later transferred to an Article III court, they are subject to judicial review today.
