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.
United States v. Callahan Walker Construction Co., 317 U.S. 56 (1942)
United States v. Callahan Walker Construction Co. No. 65 Argued October 23, 1942 Decided November 9, 1942 317 U.S. 56
CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
Under the Government construction contract here involved, an "equitable adjustment" for the extra work performed by the contractor required merely the ascertainment of the cost of digging, moving, and placing earth, and of a reasonable allowance for profit. These were questions of fact, and, if they were erroneously determined by the contracting officer, the contractor’s remedy was by appeal to the head of the department concerned, as provided by Article 15 of the contract. P. 61.
95 Ct.Cls. 314 reversed.
Certiorari, 316 U.S. 66, to review a judgment against the United States in a suit by a contractor upon a construction contract.
