United States Federal Circuit

The non-appropriated funds doctrine, where the Court of Federal Claims lacks jurisdiction over actions in which appropriated funds cannot be used to pay any resulting judgment, precludes actions in the Court of Federal Claims where the judgment would be paid with assessments against federal home loan banks, not from general fund revenues.
