The Claims Officer shall cause each claim received by him to be investigated to determine its merits.
SOURCE: GC § 6500.06. Added by P.L. 17-029:1 (Nov. 9, 1983) as § 6500.12. Codified as 5 Guam Code Ann. § 6203.
COMMENT: The modification is to refer to “”Claims Officers.”” Thus, the Attorney General investigates claims received by him against the line agencies. Each Claims Officer within his own autonomous agency will investigate claims made against that agency. If, and when, he refers the claim to an attorney for evaluation, he will do so according to the practice of the agency involved and will give it to the attorney responsible for that agency, whether it be the Attorney General or a private attorney.
