CDA's Statute of Limitation Not Jurisdictional
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.12.10
In Menominee Indian Tribe v U.S., the DC Circuit holds, contrary to some BCA and CFC decisions, that the six-year statute of limitation on contractor claims of the Contract Disputes Act is not jurisdictional, but rather "a claims-processing rule." As a result, instead of filing late being an absolute bar, the court remands the case for the district court to determine whether equitable tolling should be applied in the particular circumstances.

DOJ Promises NPAs to Certain Individuals Through New Voluntary Self-Disclosure Pilot Program
On April 15, 2024, the Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Nicole Argentieri announced a new Pilot Program on Voluntary Self-Disclosure for Individuals (“Pilot Program” or “Program”). The Pilot Program offers a clear path for voluntary self-disclosure by certain corporate executives and other individuals who are themselves involved in misconduct by corporations, in exchange for a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”). The Pilot Program specifically targets individuals who disclose to the Criminal Division at DOJ in Washington, D.C. information about certain corporate criminal conduct. By carving out a clear path to non-prosecution for those who qualify, DOJ has created another tool to uncover complex crimes that might not otherwise be reported to the Department.
