Court Re-Affirms Rule On CDA Interest
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.14.06
In Information Int'l Assocs., Inc. (October 31, 2006) the Court of Federal Claims re-affirmed that interest on amounts found due based on a contractor's properly submitted CDA claim begins to run when the claim is submitted, even on costs the contractor does not incur until after claim submission. The Court observed that the CDA "sets a single, red-letter date for interest on all amounts found due by a court without regard to when the contractor incurred the costs" and noted that, when setting the date, "Congress was concerned with fully compensating contractors for additional costs incurred in continuing performance under a contract."

Kansas Federal Court Applies “Selective Enforcement” Theory to Reject DTSA Claim
A Kansas federal court held that inconsistent enforcement of trade secret rights can defeat a claim under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). In Edelman Financial Engines, LLC v. Mariner Wealth Advisors LLC, No. 2:23-cv-02515-HLT (D. Kan. June 5, 2026), the court applied a selective enforcement theory, holding that when a company does not consistently pursue legal remedies against similarly situated former employees, that inconsistency can be affirmative evidence that it failed to protect its trade secrets. While the selective enforcement theory has appeared in academic hypothetical discussions, the decision appears to be one of the clearest judicial applications of a “selective enforcement” theory in a trade secret case.
