CO Must Identify Extension for Final Decision with Precision
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.27.14
In Suh'dutsing Techs., LLC, the ASBCA held that the contractor could appeal a "deemed denial" of its certified claim 60 days after submission of the claim, notwithstanding the contracting officer's statement that it would be "at least another sixty days . . . before I am able to issue a decision." The Board held the CO's statement was "insufficiently definite" under the Contract Disputes Act, which requires a CO to, within 60 days of receiving a certified claim over $100,000, either issue a decision or "notify the contractor of the time within which a decision will be issued."

Massachusetts Trade Secret Preliminary Injunctions: Prove the Harm, Tailor the Relief
A strong trade secret claim is not a substitute for proof of irreparable harm. In Daikin Applied Americas Inc. v. Russo, No. SJC-13881 (Mass. Oct. 14, 2026), the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that likely success on a misappropriation claim does not create a presumption of irreparable harm. The court grounded its ruling in both the Massachusetts Uniform Trade Secrets Act and the traditional equitable principles the statute incorporates. It required a case-specific showing that the requested relief would prevent harm that a final judgment could not adequately remedy.
