The Contract Disputes Act of 1978 ("CDA", Pub.L. 95-563, 92 Stat. 2383) governs legal claims brought by parties engaged to do business with the government of the United States. It came into force on 1 March 1979, superseding the provisions of the Tucker Act.[1] Among other things, it establishes procedures by which said parties may seek to press a monetary claim against the government, and it establishes the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals for review of certain, but not all, of these claims.[2] More recent amendments have clarified the ability of contractors to bring non-monetary claims, and have endorsed the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms for resolving disputes.[citation needed]
