FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST DOES NOT TOLL THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON A CLAIM

Public Contracting Institute13 Feb, 2024Business

A recent straightforward case at the Court involving a claim that the Army breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing, as well as its implied duty to cooperate and not hinder resulted in a dismissal because it was beyond the statute of limitations. J. Star Enterprises, Inc. v. United States, No. 23-013 (Fed. Cl. September 11, 2023). Star asserted that its Freedom of Information Act (?FOIA?) request tolled (extended) the statute of limitations.
