Reform of 28 U.S.C. § 1500

Recommendation 2012-6 – The Need to Reform 28 U.S.C. § 1500 urges Congress to repeal Section 1500, which divests the U.S. Court of Federal Claims of jurisdiction when a plaintiff has claims against the government based on substantially the same operative facts pending in another court, and replace it with a provision that would create a presumption that in such circumstances, later-filed actions would be stayed.
