West Virginia Court of Claims

Ohio Valley Medical Center v. Department of Corrections

14 Ct. Cl. 10

West Virginia Court of Claims·Decided August 6, 1981·No. CC-81-89·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Claimant herein seeks payment of the sum of $125.80 for medical services furnished to an inmate of the West Virginia Penitentiary. In its Answer, the respondent admits the validity of the claim, but also states that there were no funds remaining in the respondent’s appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which the obligation could have been paid.

While we feel that this is a claim which in equity and good conscience should be paid, we are also of the opinion that an award cannot be made, based on our decision in Airkem Sales and Service, et al. v. Department of Mental Health, 8 Ct.Cl. 180 (1971).

Claim disallowed.
