Judge Jones Awards $1,480 to Vinita Hay Supplier
U.S. Court of Claims Chief Justice Marvin Jones ruled the Vinita Hay Co. could be reimbursed for six carloads of Nebraska hay bought to meet a drought affected Army contract. He found a severe weather clause in the contract and faulted denying the claim for $17,298 as excess costs not listed. The decision notes drought driven price spikes and quotes Jones describing Oklahoma drought conditions and the need to reimburse the supplier for the six carloads.
