               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.
