TROUTMAN V. SOUTHERN RAILWAY CO
441 F.2d 586, cert. denied, 404 U.S. 871 (1971)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a damages award for a breach of contract.
FACTS: Southern Railway (D) was ordered to raise its rates on grain shipments. D sought
injunctive relief and sued the Interstate Commerce Commission. D also asked Troutman (P) to
present its case to President Kennedy. D prevailed. P was never paid for his services (a
joint development project) and demanded money. D refused and P sued. D claimed that the suit
was barred by the Statute of Limitations and that a contract to influence government
officials is void as against public policy. The jury found for P. D appealed.
