Federal court ruling
|
|
A federal court ruling is a ruling made by a Federal Court, which is the highest court possible. A number of countries, including USA, have such a system and have the same or similar meanings for what the ruling might mean. In the United States of America, there is is dispute over whether a federal court ruling takes effect immediately and has sufficient constitutional force to require obedience, even on the part of the President of the United States. Newspaper articles from time to time announce that a district court has "ordered" the president or the Navy to desist from a certain action. The question is whether such a court is invested with sufficient constitutional authority to demand obedience. Generally, the White House and federal agencies can resist orders from lower courts pending a ruling from the Supreme Court. A federal court ruling has similar meaning in other countries.
