OPA's Eleventh Quarterly Report stated that Foster & Co. obtained an individually approved maximum price for a new packaged-whiskey brand by reference to other brands' March 1942 prices; when later dollar-and-cent ceilings lowered that price across existing contracts, the Emergency Court of Appeals rejected the company's challenge to the Price Administrator's authority in Foster & Co. v. Bowles, decided September 27, 1944.
Verified as an attributed OPA account on printed pages 35–36 of the complete official report. The underlying judicial opinion has not been added, so quote or analyze the court's reasoning only after consulting that opinion.
This claim states what OPA reported about the dispute and result. The quarterly report is an agency summary, not the complete Emergency Court of Appeals opinion.
The episode shows how standardized wartime price ceilings constrained a new whiskey brand and could supersede an earlier individually approved price even after private contracts had been made.
Publication-safe with explicit OPA attribution. Obtain the opinion before making a doctrinal claim about the court's reasoning or scope.
