Law360 Publishes Article by Bret Marfut and Ken Kanzawa on Contract Disputes Act Appeals

Law360 featured an article by Government Contracts counsel Ken Kanzawa and associate Bret Marfut, “Contract Disputes Recap: Notice, Timeliness, Jurisdiction.” The article, published on May 11, 2026, is part of Seyfarth’s monthly Contract Disputes Recap column, which tracks and analyzes recent litigation under the Contract Disputes Act.

In this installment, the authors examine three recent decisions from the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, offering practical takeaways on defective notice of appeal rights, the limits and exceptions to the 90‑day timeliness requirement, and the board’s constrained jurisdiction to enforce settlement agreements. The article highlights how missteps in government notice and filing mechanics can significantly affect appeal outcomes.
