General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Ripley v. United States No. 498, 499 Submitted May 29, 1911 Decided December 4, 1911 222 U.S. 144
APPEALS FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS ON RETURN TO
MANDATE DIRECTING ADDITIONAL FINDINGS
Syllabus
Where the right of one claiming under a contract with the United States depends on whether the government inspector acted in good or in bad faith in refusing to allow the work to proceed, the findings of the Court of Claims should be specific in this respect, and, if not, the case will be remanded with directions to make specific findings. Findings, which simply state that the inspector in immediate charge of the work acted with knowledge, other inspectors being also referred to in the findings, and which do not make a direct and unequivocal finding as to the good or bad faith of the inspector in giving the order, do not conform to the order of this Court heretofore made in this case, 220 U.S. 491, and the case is remanded for further compliance therewith.
The facts, which involve the sufficiency of findings of the Court of Claims, are stated in the opinion.
