28 U.S.C. § 1497 - Oyster growers damages from dredging operations

Text

The United States Court of Federal Claims shall have jurisdiction to render judgment upon any claim for damages to oyster growers on private or leased lands or bottoms arising from dredging operations or use of other machinery and equipment in making river and harbor improvements authorized by Act of Congress.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 941; Pub. L. 97164, title I, § 133(c), Apr. 2, 1982, 96 Stat. 40; Pub. L. 102572, title IX, § 902(a)(1), Oct. 29, 1992, 106 Stat. 4516.)

Notes

Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 250a (Aug. 30, 1935, ch. 831, § 13, 49 Stat. 1049; July 13, 1943, ch. 231, 57 Stat. 553). The proviso at the end of section 250a of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., is incorporated in section 2501 of this title. Words “river and harbor improvements” were substituted for “such improvements”, in view of Dixon v. U.S., 103 Ct. Cl. 160, holding that words, “such improvements” were not limited to the specific improvements listed in the 1935 act, but applied to any river and harbor improvements. Changes were made in phraseology.

Editorial Notes

Amendments1992—Pub. L. 102572 substituted “United States Court of Federal Claims” for “United States Claims Court”. 1982—Pub. L. 97164 substituted “growers ” for “growers,” in section catchline, and “United States Claims Court” for “Court of Claims” in text.
