Correctional Medical Services, Inc. v. Regional Jail & Correctional Facility Authority

20 Ct. Cl. 135

• Court: West Virginia Court of Claims
• Decided: January 27, 1995
• Docket: CC-94-847
• Status: Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent’s Answer.

Claimant seeks payment of $25,753.63 for medical services rendered to inmates in the South Central Regional Jail Authority, a facility of respondent.

Respondent, in its Answer, admits the validity of the claim, but states that there were insufficient funds in the appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which to pay the claim.

While the Court believes that this is a claim which in equity and good conscience should be paid, the Court further believes that an award cannot be recommended based upon the decision in Airkem Sales and Service, et. al. vs. Dept. of Mental Health, 8 Ct. Cl. 180 (1971).

Claim disallowed.
