Download or read book Qui Tam Actions written by LandMark Publications and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze and discuss issues surrounding qui tam actions. The selection of decisions spans from 2014 to the date of publication.The False Claims Act prohibits "knowingly present[ing], or caus[ing] to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval" to the United States government. 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1)(A). Accordingly, to prove their claims under the FCA, the relators "must show that defendants (1) made a claim, (2) to the United States government, (3) that is false or fraudulent, (4) knowing of its falsity, and (5) seeking payment from the federal treasury." Mikes, 274 F.3d at 695. [Footnote omitted.] Bishop v. Wells Fargo & Co., 823 F. 3d 35 (2nd Cir. 2016).A person pursuing a qui tam action under the False Claims Act -- the relator -- asserts a claim based on a right belonging to the United States. See generally Vermont Agency of Natural Resources v. United States ex rel. Stevens, 529 U.S. 765, 768 n.1, 120 S.Ct. 1858, 146 L.Ed.2d 836 (2000). The goal of the FCA's qui tam provisions is to prevent and rectify frauds by government contractors, by incentivizing private individuals to uncover and prosecute FCA claims. [Citations omitted.] US ex rel. Ladas v. Exelis, Inc., 824 F. 3d 16 (2nd Cir. 2016).The FCA was enacted in 1863 to combat fraud by defense contractors during the Civil War. See, e.g., Paul E. McGreal & DeeDee Baba, Applying Coase to Qui Tam Actions Against the States, 77 Notre Dame L.Rev. 87, 121 (2001) ("Army officers had reported numerous incidents where the federal government had paid for certain supplies only to receive defective goods or nothing at all."). Consistent with its origin, the archetypal FCA claim involves a factually false request for payment from the government, as when a contractor delivers a box of sawdust to the military but bills for a shipment of guns. See Michael Holt & Gregory Klass, Implied Certification Under the False Claims Act, 41 Pub. Cont. L.J. 1, 16 (2011). Over time, courts have extended the FCA's reach to "legally false" claims, those in which "a party certifies compliance with a statute or regulation as a condition to governmental payment," but is not actually compliant. Mikes, 274 F.3d at 697. In 1994, the Federal Court of Claims broadened the definition of a false claim even further to include "impliedly false" claims, where the submission of the claim itself is fraudulent because it impliedly constitutes a certification of compliance. See Ab-Tech Constr., Inc. v. United States, 31 Fed.Cl. 429, 434 (1994), aff'd without written opinion, 57 F.3d 1084 (Fed.Cir.1995). Other courts adopting this theory of liability, including this one, have warned about its potentially "expansive" reach. See, e.g., Mikes, 274 F.3d at 699 ("[C]aution should be exercised not to read this theory expansively and out of context."). Bishop v. Wells Fargo & Co., ibid.From its enactment, the FCA has encouraged private citizens to report fraud by promising a percentage of any eventual recovery. See McGreal & Baba supra, at 121. Under the current version of the statute, each false claim exposes the perpetrator to "a civil penalty of not less than $5,000 and not more than $10,000 ... plus 3 times the amount of damages which the Government sustains because of the act of that person." 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a)(1). Qui tam relators are eligible to receive up to 30% of the government's total recovery, in addition to any expenses, fees, or costs incurred in bringing the suit. 31 U.S.C. § 3730(d)(2). Bishop v. Wells Fargo & Co., ibid.
Download or read book Corporate Internal Investigations written by Stephan Spehl and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Internal Investigations have become more and more important for businesses as a means to minimise business liability risks. These liability risks often result from a managerial failure to observe a particular regulatory code. For international businesses, the obligation upon management to supervise compliance does not stop at national borders and the introduction of whistle-blowing systems within businesses is only a small step in terms of minimising the risks. The greater challenge for businesses is to examine and analyse the findings of internal investigations, and this often calls for an internal investigation to be conducted internationally. Recent cases of law enforcement by national or international authorities against companies and individuals have highlighted the legal pitfalls and boundaries of Corporate Internal Investigations. The authors of this work offer an overview of the recurring legal questions regarding internal investigations in 13 different jurisdictions (Austria, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and USA). The book is especially concerned with the requirements for the initiation of internal investigations and the legal boundaries of different investigative measures. In addition, questions concerning data protection, employment laws, the conduct of interviews with employees and penalties for inappropriate employee conduct are described.
