As government customers and contractors adapt to delays and disruptions caused by the current pandemic, attention will turn to claims resolution and litigation.

The first, "ABC's of CDA Claims Litigation" in Bloomberg Law, contains fundamental CDA principles reinforced by these decisions. The second, "Government Contracts Disputes in Focus: Claims Cases and Trends from the First Half of 2020," in The Government Contractor, describes 13 decisions from the Federal Circuit, COFC, ASBCA, and CBCA in greater detail, and reminds government contractors the importance of not only following the statutory and regulatory CDA requirements, but also the evolving and nuanced case law governing the practice and procedure of litigating CDA claims.
