48 CFR 6101.25 – Decisions and settlements[Rule 25]
(a) Decisions. The Board issues decisions in writing, except as allowed by Rule 52 (48 CFR 6101.52). The Board will send a copy of a decision to each party, requesting confirmation of receipt (see Rule 1 (48 CFR 6101.1)), and will post the decision on its website. If a decision reserves any part of a case for later proceedings, it is conclusive as to the matters it resolves, except as provided in Rules 26 and 28 (48 CFR 6101.26 and 6101.28).
Terms Used In 48 CFR 6101.25
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
(b) Settlements. Parties may settle a case by stipulating to an award. The Board may issue a decision making the stipulated award if:
(1) The Board is satisfied that it has jurisdiction; and
(2) The stipulation states that no party will seek reconsideration of, seek relief from, or appeal the Board’s decision.
