U.S. Code › Title 28 › Part VI › Chapter 165 › § 2506 28 U.S. Code § 2506 - Interest of witness
A witness in a suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims shall not be exempt or disqualified because he is a party to or interested in such suit.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 977; Pub. L. 97–164, title I, § 139(e),Apr. 2, 1982, 96 Stat. 42; Pub. L. 102–572, title IX, § 902(a)(1),Oct. 29, 1992, 106 Stat. 4516.)
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 274 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, § 186,36 Stat. 1143; Feb. 5, 1912, ch. 28, 37 Stat. 61).
A provision that a witness should not be disqualified by color was omitted as obsolete and unnecessary, since no such disqualification could be invoked in absence of statutory authority.
A provision that the United States could examine any plaintiff or party interested is covered by the word “exempt” in the revised section, and by section 2504 of this title.
