United States v. Cotter Corp., N.S.L.

Pending Petition
Docket No.25-1127
Op. BelowFed. Cir.

Issue

Whether a downstream purchaser’s liability for mishandling nuclear material that the purchaser obtained for private benefit, but that was originally produced more than a decade earlier under a government contract with another party, is subject to indemnification by the United States under the original government contract because it qualifies as “public liability arising out of or in connection with the contractual activity” under 42 U.S.C. 2210(d).
