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.

APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
Where a contract for furnishing and installing heating plants in buildings to be erected for the government by other contractors showed on its face that progress under it would be dependent on the progress of the buildings, and, though strictly limiting the time for the contractor’s performance, made no reference to delays by the government save as grounds for time extensions to the contractor, and the contractor therein agreed to accept the contract price in full satisfaction for all work done under the contract, reduced by damages deducted for its delays and increased or reduced by the price of any changes ordered by the government, and stipulated that the contract price should cover all expenses of any nature connected with the work to be done, held, that the Government was not bound to make good losses suffered by the contractor in performing the contract due to delays in completing the buildings.
59 Ct. Cls. 593 affirmed.
Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims denying a claim for damages due to delay in enabling the claimant to perform its contract.
