United States Federal Circuit

In a suretyship case concerning a denial of 28 U.S.C. section 1581(i) relief to challenge plaintiff's liability under a surety contract on the grounds that, because it knew of its potential protest grounds in time to file its protest administratively within the time period provided in 19 U.S.C. Section 1514(c)(3) it could not bring a Section 1581(i) lawsuit, judgment of the trial court is reversed where its determination that the surety’s claim accrued prior to the end of the protest period was erroneous.
