Recourse For Negative Past Performance Evaluation
Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.19.09
In Todd Construction, L.P. v. U.S., 85 Fed. Cl. 34 (2008), the CFC affirmed its jurisdiction over a claim challenging an agency's past performance evaluation brought under the Contract Disputes Act. John McCarthy and Addie Cliffe of C&M have authored a pair of articles "Revisiting the Past: Todd Construction, Inc v. U.S. and Judicial Review of Past Performance Evaluations, Part I," (and Part II) which, in the first, address the jurisdictional issue and applicable standard of review and, in the second, explore the remedies available to the court to cure any deficiencies encountered (an issue not addressed by the court in its jurisdictional decision).

SCOTUS Holds IEEPA Tariffs Unlawful
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, negating the President’s ability to impose tariffs under IEEPA. The case stemmed from President Trump’s invocation of IEEPA to levy tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries, citing national emergencies. Challengers argued—and the Court agreed—that IEEPA does not delegate tariff authority to the President. The power to tariff is vested in Congress by the Constitution and cannot be delegated to the President absent express authority from Congress.
