Morrison Waite,
Whitney v. Cook — Opinion of the Court
“ Our experience teaches that the only way to discourage frivolous appeals and writs of error is by the use of our power to award damages, and we think this a proper case in which to say that hereafter more attention will be given to that subject, and the rule enforced both according to its letter and spirit. ”
Morrison Waite,
Whitney v. Cook — Opinion of the Court
“ Parties should not be subjected to the delay of proceedings for review in this court without reasonable cause, and our power to make compensation to some extent for the loss occasioned by an unwarranted delay ought not to be overlooked. Notes This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105) . ”
