the Court of Federal Claims

Siena Benitez · Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is alternative B) "The Court of Federal Claims."

The Court of Federal Claims hears monetary claims against the Government of the United States of America. Its jurisdiction is codified in 28 U. S. C. § 1491.

Since the plaintiff desires to sue the government for monetary damages, and the Court of Federal Claims hears precisely this kind of case, it's the right court to hear the case.
