This legal treatise covers the merits of a potential action; determining whether the relator would be barred or restricted from any recovery for retaliation and analysis of the latest cases.

Cited by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

In recent years, whistleblower lawsuits have led to billions of dollars in judgments and settlements, debarment from government contracts, and criminal prosecutions as the government and the public seek to root out fraud and abuse. In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act created a new Securities and Exchange Commission Whistleblower Program, imposed a three-year statute of limitations on FCA retaliation actions, and expanded protections for whistleblowers.

Federal False Claims Act and Qui Tam Litigation book and CD is a unique guide to this vital area. Unlike many treatises that focus solely on the plaintiff whistleblower or “relator,” this book provides detailed, comprehensive coverage of the interests of all the participants in qui tam cases—the relator, the defendant corporation, the federal and state governments, and the courts. It also provides state-of-the-art analysis of the latest cases and whistleblower statutes, federal, state and municipal.

Topics include: evaluating the merits of a potential action; determining whether the relator would be barred or restricted from any recovery for retaliation; for plaintiffs, locating a favorable judiciary and an aggressive prosecutor's office; for defendants, anticipating, preventing and responding to litigation; determining whether a claim is material; theories of liability under the FCA; government indifference or concurrence with erroneous certification; assessing an appropriate relator's share of any recovery; parallel criminal actions; and more.

Each chapter concludes with detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of significant cases for the relator, the defense, the government and the judiciary. This is a book that will help all parties understand and master the challenges of this important and growing field.

Includes a CD-ROM containing forms and pleadings; guidances and government memoranda; U.S statements of interest; and federal and state statutes and forms.

Book #00681; looseleaf, one volume, 991 pages and one CD-ROM; published in 2011, updated as needed; no additional charge for updates during your subscription. Looseleaf print subscribers receive supplements. The online edition is updated automatically. ISBN: 978-1-58852-133-0.
