28 U.S.C. § 2517 — Payment of judgments
submitted 78 years ago by ch. 646 to r/title-28-JUDICIARY-AND-JUDICIAL-PROCEDURE · 112 words · no verdicts yet
The United States must pay final Court of Federal Claims judgments from an appropriate general appropriation after certification. Payment generally discharges related claims.
(a) Unless title 41, chapter 71 provides otherwise, every final judgment by the Court of Federal Claims against the United States must be paid from a general appropriation made for that purpose. The clerk and chief judge must certify the judgment and present the certification to the Treasury Secretary. (b) Paying such a judgment and its interest fully releases the United States from all claims and demands arising from the matters in the case or controversy. If the judgment is labeled a partial judgment, it releases the United States only for the matters described in it.
Except as provided by chapter 71 of title 41, every final judgment rendered by the United States Court of Federal Claims against the United States shall be paid out of any general appropriation therefor, on presentation to the Secretary of the Treasury of a certification of the judgment by the clerk and chief judge of the court.
Payment of any such judgment and of interest thereon shall be a full discharge to the United States of all claims and demands arising out of the matters involved in the case or controversy, unless the judgment is designated a partial judgment, in which event only the matters described therein shall be discharged.
