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.

Sanford & Brooks Co. v. United States No. 175 Argued January 15, 1925 Decided March 9, 1925 267 U.S. 455
APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
1. Where a government contract for dredging expressly required prompt, written protest against any order for work outside the specifications, written modification of the contract if altered materially, and written orders for extra work, held that oral protests by the contractor, a claim for additional compensation, and a favorable advisory opinion thereon by a government official, were insufficient to establish that these contract provisions were inapplicable or waived, or that a new, oral agreement for compensation quantum meruit was substituted by implication. P. 457.
2. A motion to remand to the Court of Claims for further findings should be submitted at the first term of the entry of the case, so that the Court may determine whether the motion shall be passed upon in advance, or postponed until the hearing on the merits. P. 458.
58 Ct.Cls. 158 affirmed.
Appeal from a judgment of the Court of Claims rejecting a claim for additional compensation for dredging.
