Rek, is this statement true?.... "It represents controlling law for Sweeney, which means she is obligated to apply it to her cases."

Hi observer21,

Yes, that is a true statement. The Federal Claims Court is required to follow law that is passed by the Appeals Court, considered a superior court to the Claims Court.

That being said, its fairly irrelevant since the AIG ruling is in relation to claims that were heard. In Sweeney's case, we are still dealing with discovery! Also, the AIG case is not identical to the GSE case, so there are many distinctions that can be drawn between the two.
