Buck v. Kuykendall, 267 U.S. 307 (1925) (No. 345)
1925
Case name: Buck v. Kuykendall Opinion filed: 1925-03-02 Docket No.: 345 Citations: • 267 U.S. 307 • 45 S. Ct. 324 • 69 L. Ed. 623 • 1925 U.S. LEXIS 373 Case holding summaries: • holding that the denial by the State of Washington of a certificate needed to run an auto stage line between Portland and Seattle violated the commerce clause, because the denial not only burdened interstate commerce, but obstructed it completely • invalidating a rule that a state could deny an interstate transporter a certificate of necessity and convenience to use state roads because the "area is already being adequately served" • holding that an Oregon law limiting what parties could travel on a stretch of highway within the state was “a regulation, not of the use of [Oregon’s] highways, but of interstate commerce”
