Applicability of the Miscellaneous Receipts Act to an Arbitral Award of Legal Costs
An arbitral award of legal costs does not qualify as a refund for purposes of the "refunds to appropriations" exception to the Miscellaneous Receipts Act. The Millennium Challenge Corporation therefore must deposit the award in the general fund of the Treasury.
