Section 797. Recall of retired judges
(a)(1) Any judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims who
has retired from regular active service under subchapter III of
chapter 83, or chapter 84, of title 5 shall be known and designated
as a senior judge and may perform duties as a judge when recalled
pursuant to subsection (b) of this section.
(2) Any judge of the Court of Federal Claims receiving an annuity
under section 178(c) of this title (pertaining to disability) who,
in the estimation of the chief judge, has recovered sufficiently to
render judicial service, shall be known and designated as a senior
judge and may perform duties as a judge when recalled under
subsection (b) of this section.
(b) The chief judge of the Court of Federal Claims may, whenever
he deems it advisable, recall any senior judge, with such judge's
consent, to perform such duties as a judge and for such period of
time as the chief judge may specify.
(c) Any senior judge performing duties pursuant to this section
shall not be counted as a judge for purposes of the number of
judgeships authorized by section 171 of this title.
(d) Any senior judge, while performing duties pursuant to this
section, shall be paid the same allowances for travel and other
expenses as a judge in active service. Such senior judge shall also
receive from the Court of Federal Claims supplemental pay in an
amount sufficient, when added to his retirement annuity, to equal
the salary of a judge in active service for the same period or
periods of time. Such supplemental pay shall be paid in the same
manner as the salary of a judge.
