"Black & White Taxicab Co. v. Brown & Yellow Taxicab Co. ", 276 U.S. 518 (1928), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the Court refused to overturn "Swift v. Tyson" and hold that federal courts sitting in diversity jurisdiction must apply state common law. Ten years later, in "Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins", the Court reversed course, and overturned "Swift".
It is most famous for the dissent of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr..
