Court of Claims

Read a random definition: proprium negotium

A quick definition of Court of Claims:

The Court of Claims was a court in the United States that decided if the government had to pay people money for things like contracts or other agreements. It started in 1855 and stopped in 1982. Now, other courts decide these cases. Some states also have a court of claims.

A more thorough explanation:

The Court of Claims was a federal court in the United States that was established in 1855. Its purpose was to settle monetary claims against the government. These claims could be based on contracts, either express or implied, or claims referred by Congress.

For example, if a company had a contract with the government to provide goods or services, and the government failed to pay for those goods or services, the company could file a claim with the Court of Claims to seek compensation.

The Court of Claims was abolished by Congress in 1982. However, trial level cases were moved to the United States Court of Federal Claims, and appellate cases were moved to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Some states also have their own court of claims, which serve a similar purpose at the state level.
