When a plaintiff sues the federal government for monetary damages the Court of Federal Claims hears the case. The United States Court of Federal Claims (in case citations, Fed. Cl. or C. F. C.) is a United States federal court that hears monetary claims against the U. S. government. It is the direct successor to the United States Court of Claims, which was founded in 1855, and is therefore a revised version of one of the oldest federal courts in the country.
