Claims as a right in sentence

Johnson asserts that the filing of time-barred claims is at odds with the aim of the claims process as a whole, which Johnson argues is to fairly and efficiently process claims. Johnson notes that Congress chose for all claims to be presumptively valid and enforceable. Thus, Johnson maintains that Congress did not also intend for parties to knowingly file unenforceable and invalid claims. Johnson also states that courts sometimes sanction parties for filing claims that the parties know are time-barred. Johnson counters that it is therefore illogical to consider the filing of time-barred claims as a right.
