If the court rules that Mr Champlin is entitled to reimbursement, then consider what this rule might mean to businesses, particularly those that contract with the government. Consider, for example, a store or outlet that purchases federal/military surplus. What provisions might they need to include in a contract that might not be required in a typical commercial or consumer contract?
I provide some relevant thoughts on this important case. Caution is the order of the day...and well designed contracts.
