Book excerpt: THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze, discuss and interpret provisions of the False Claims Act. * * * Originally signed into law during the Civil War by President Abraham Lincoln, the False Claims Act exposes those who commit fraud against the federal government to treble damages and civil penalties, both of which "are essentially punitive in nature." Vt. Agency of Nat. Res. v. United States ex rel. Stevens, 529 U.S. 765, 768-69, 784, 120 S.Ct. 1858, 146 L.Ed.2d 836 (2000). The statute's qui tam provisions allow private plaintiffs -- often called "relators" -- to bring a civil action to recover damages and civil penalties "for the person and for the United States Government," though any such action is "brought in the name of the Government." Kelly, 9 F.3d at 745-46 (quoting 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(1)). The Government may choose to take over the litigation, 31 U.S.C. § 3730(b)(2), but the relator otherwise "ha[s] the right to conduct the action" alone, id. § 3730(c)(3). American Bankers Management Company v. Heryford, 885 F. 3d 629 (9th Cir. 2018).* * * If successful, relators conducting actions themselves generally receive between twenty-five and thirty percent of any recovery in the action. See 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d)(2)-(3). This means that the dollar amount of qui tam relators' compensation for independently litigating enforcement actions is not fixed by law. Rather, it depends on there being a recovery -- and the compensation increases as the damages and civil penalties increase. If there is no recovery, relators come out worse than empty handed because they bear the costs they incurred during the litigation. American Bankers, ibid.

Download or read book The Successes and Failures of Whistleblower Laws written by Robert G. Vaughn and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A new roadmap for understanding the diverse perspectives and disparate bodies of law involved in any legal regime aimed at encouraging people in organisations to speak up about wrongdoing, making it possible for them to do so, and supporting and protecting them when they do. More than just a rich and readable history of whistleblowing laws, in the USA and around the world. Steeped in Robert Vaughn's personal experience as a lawyer and researcher over a 40 year period, this book stands to help solve some of the greatest conundrums in this vital area of legal regulation - one of the most complex in modern society, but one of the most crucial to integrity, accountability and organisational justice in all institutions. Compulsory reading for all policymakers, regulators, corporate leaders, researchers and activists engaged in improvement and implementation of public interest whistleblowing laws." - A.J. Brown, Griffith University and Transparency International Australia "Unlike other books on whistleblowing that simply describe and analyze whistleblowing laws, Robert Vaughn's new book provides an in-depth and unique historical account of the roots of the whistleblowing movement in such disparate events as the Mai Lai massacre, the civil rights movement, and the experiments of Stanley Milgrim. As important, he then uses that history to illuminate the competing perspectives and pressures that influenced the passage and interpretation of modern whistleblower laws. Vaughn provides a first-rate account of the varied and complex reasons for the successes and failures of these laws during the last forty years." - Richard Moberly, University of Nebraska College of Law, US Drawing on literature from several disciplines, this enlightening book examines the history of whistleblower laws throughout the world and provides an analytical structure for the most common debates about the nature of such laws and their potential successes and failures. The author explores the relationship between the actions of whistleblowers and the character of laws protecting them, as well as their administration and enforcement. The book considers the role of civil society groups in the successes of whistleblower laws and how current controversies reflect issues attached to these laws over half a century. This study contains perspectives from which successes and failures can be evaluated and will appeal to policy makers, scholars, whistleblower advocacy and other civil society groups, as well as anyone with a general interest in the subject.

Download or read book Practitioner s Guide to Global Investigations written by Judith Seddon and published by Law Business Research Ltd.. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 1026 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's never been a greater likelihood a company and its key people will become embroiled in a cross-border investigation. But emerging unscarred is a challenge. Local laws and procedures on corporate offences differ extensively - and can be contradictory. To extricate oneself with minimal cost requires a nuanced ability to blend understanding of the local law with the wider dimension and, in particular, to understand where the different countries showing an interest will differ in approach, expectations or conclusions. Against this backdrop, GIR has published the second edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigation. The book is divided into two parts with chapters written exclusively by leading names in the field. Using US and UK practice and procedure, Part I tracks the development of a serious allegation (whether originating inside or outside a company) - looking at the key risks that arise and the challenges it poses, along with the opportunities for its resolution. It offers expert insight into fact-gathering (including document preservation and collection, witness interviews); structuring the investigation (the complexities of cross-border privilege issues); and strategising effectively to resolve cross-border probes and manage corporate reputation.Part II features detailed comparable surveys of the relevant law and practice in jurisdictions that build on many of the vital issues pinpointed in Part I.
