United States Federal Circuit

In a Winstar related case, a ruling holding that the government breached an agreement with a savings and loan company that the latter could use a particular method of accounting in determining its capital for regulatory purposes, and an award of damages of approximately $18,600,000, are affirmed over the government's claim that breach of the agreement did not cause the injury for which the plaintiffs were awarded damages.
