Section 1500 Adopted December 6, 2012 The Administrative Conference of the United States has long had an interest in ensuring appropriate judicial review of Government actions and in considering related questions regarding jurisdiction and forum. For example, the Conference's seminal Recommendation 69- 1 recommended amendment of the Administrative Procedure Act-subsequently enacted by Congress-to waive sovereign immunity and thereby permit citizens to challenge in courts the legality of acts of governmental administrators.' Recommendation 68-7 encouraged Congress to revise the general federal question provision in Title 28 of the U.S. Code in order to eliminate the jurisdictional-amount requirement for district court actions seeking review of federal administrative actions.2 The Conference has also recommended ways to improve procedures in suits involving the federal government. Building upon the principles underlying such Recommendations, the Conference addresses another bar to judicial review which deprives some litigants of their rights-28 U.S.C. § 1500 (Section 1500). Section 1500 prohibits consideration by the United States Court of I Administrative Conference of the United States, Recommendation 69-1, Statutory Reform of the Sovereign Immunity Doctrine, 1 ACUS 23 (1969). 2 Administrative Conference of the United States, Recommendation 68-7, Elimination of Jurisdictional Amount Requirement in Judicial Review, 1 ACUS 22 (1968).
