B&P Costs Plus Injunctive Relief Permitted
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 02.24.09
The CFC in Alabama Aircraft Indus., Inc. v. U.S. (Feb. 3, 2009) rejected the government's argument that, once the court has granted injunctive relief, any request for bid preparation costs must be denied. The court ruled that the statute has no "choose one only" provision, and, when the contractor can show that B&P efforts were wasted due to agency error, it should receive reimbursement for them even though it also is awarded injunctive relief.

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.
