Claims Court, U.S.

Claims Court, U.S.
This federal court was established in 1982 and succeeds to all the original jurisdiction formerly exercised by the Court of Claims, as now provided for in 28 U.S.C.A. 1491 et seq. The court has jurisdiction to render money judgments upon any claim against the United States founded either upon the Constitution, or any act of Congress or any regulation of an executive department, or upon any express or implied in fact contract with the United States or for liquidated or unliquidated damages in cases not sounding in tort.
Judgments of the Court are final and conclusive on both the claimant and the United States subject to an appeal as of right to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Authority also rests with the court to furnish reports on any bill that may be referred by either House of Congress. Jurisdiction of the Court is nationwide, and jurisdiction over the parties is obtained when suit is filed and process is served on the United States through the Attorney General.
