- Abstract
The article offers information on the Federal Tort Claims Act of the U.S., which provide for the adjustment of certain claims against the U.S. On January 14, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt urged the passage of such a bill. The bill conferred the U.S. district courts exclusive jurisdiction over certain classes of property damage and personal injury claims against the government. The measure vests exclusive jurisdiction in the courts sitting without a jury to adjudicate tort claims up to 10,000 dollars, subject to the exception of specific types of claims from the bill.
