Damages Available For Government Breach of CRADA
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.24.10
The CFC in D'Andrea Bros. LLC v. U.S. (Nov. 18, 2010) rebuffed the government's argument that the court has no jurisdiction to consider an alleged breach of a no-cost cooperative research and development agreement and to award damages. The court set for trial the contractor's complaint that, when the Marine Corps bad-mouthed the contractor publicly, it breached its good faith duties by frustrating the contractor's ability to market certain trademarks for food items effectively.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
