OVERVIEW: The False Claims Act as well as its state counterparts has led to significant high stakes litigation involving claims of fraud on the federal purse. A well organized relators’ bar has been pressing innovative interpretations of the FCA, leading to numerous multi-million dollar judgments and settlements.
Among the issues discussed and
debated will be:
- Identification of the industries, products, and practices that engender most of the FCA claims
- The presentment issue or so-called Totten issue which is currently under consideration before the Supreme Court in Sanders
- The legislative amendments to the False Claims Act recently proposed by Senator Grassley in S. 2041(& HR 4854)
- The materiality issue where the government, knowing the allegations against the contractor, renews the contract nonetheless
- Rule 9(b) pleading issues and whether any bright line rule is discernible
- The vexing statute of limitations issue which kicks in when the government eventually intervenes
- And More!
