Jurisdiction and Procedures of Court of Federal Claims

The Court of Federal Claims is a U.S. court that handles specific types of cases against the federal government, primarily involving money claims, contract disputes, and property rights. Its jurisdiction includes claims for damages (like refunds or compensation) and cases involving federal tax refunds. The procedures involve filing a complaint, providing evidence, and potentially having a trial. The court focuses on legal issues with judges instead of juries, and its rulings can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This court ensures citizens have a means to seek redress against the government.
