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.

APPEALS FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
1. Upon a reference to determine a claim for services on a quantum meruit basis, when the Court of Claims finds the amounts already paid the claimant, and dismisses his petition, or renders judgment for an additional sum, this is a determination that he was not entitled to more, although there is no definite finding of the value of the services. P. 730.
2. In determining the value of services rendered the Choctaw Nation, the Court of Claims was not bound by opinions of the Choctaw Legislature or executive officers. P. 731.
59 Ct.Cls. 768, id. 796, affirmed.
Appeals from decisions of the Court of Claims on claims for services, against the Choctaw Nation, referred to that Court by Acts of Congress. See Garland’s Heirs v. Choctaw Nation, 256 U.S. 439.
