TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART V--PROCEDURE
CHAPTER 133--REVIEW--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Sec. 2108. Proof of amount in controversy
Where the power of any court of appeals to review a case depends
upon the amount or value in controversy, such amount or value, if not
otherwise satisfactorily disclosed upon the record, may be shown and
ascertained by the oath of a party to the case or by other competent
evidence.
(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.
