Christian Doctrine Applied to Subcontract
Client Alert | 1 min read | 04.05.13
As discussed in more detail in a Crowell Alert issued today, the U.S. District Court for D.C. in UPMC Braddock v. Harris (Mar. 30, 2013) relied on the Christrian doctrine, a rule derived from case law that allows for the inclusion in a contract by operation of law of omitted government contract clauses expressing a significant public procurement policy, to incorporate affirmative action clauses into a subcontract between certain hospitals and a managed care organization with a Federal Employees Health Benefits Program prime contract. This is the first instance of which we are aware that a court has used the Christian doctrine to incorporate federal procurement obligations into a subcontract.

2024 UFLPA Strategy Update: Forced Labor in the XUAR Remains Top Concern for U.S. Government
Congress enacted the UFLPA on December 23, 2021 in response to alleged forced labor violations occurring in the People’s Republic of China. The UFLPA supports U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) enforcement of Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The act aims to prevent the importation of goods sourced and/or made in whole or in part with forced labor from China into the US by imposing a rebuttable presumption that holds that any goods “mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part” in the XUAR or “produced by an entity on the UFLPA Entity List” are prohibited from import into the US. The UFLPA’ s rebuttable presumption went into effect on June 21, 2022.
