The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals published its FY18 Report of Transactions and Proceedings, which provides statistics regarding the adjudication of appeals between contractors and the Army, Navy, Air Force, Corps of Engineers, DLA, DCMA, CIA, NASA, other Defense agencies, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. According to this year's report, appellants prevailed, in whole or in part, in 69 percent of the appeals decided on the merits, a notable increase from the past several years. As usual, the Board had a high success rate in resolving matters via alternative dispute resolution (ADR), successfully resolving 85 percent of ADRs concluded in FY18 – including binding arbitration, non-binding mediation, and ADR of undocketed appeals.

Notably, the restrictions were contained in a vertical agreement by which BAA presented touring shows at theaters owned by Company A. The announcement is a reminder that the agencies continue to scrutinize non-compete agreements contained in business contracts, and all non-compete provisions, even those included between vertical partners, should be reviewed by antitrust counsel.
