What the Future Holds for the False Claims Act

Dykema Litigation Institute Webinars

6.18.19

The False Claims Act (FCA) is one of the government’s most powerful tools, allowing for treble damages and qui tam or “whistleblowers” to bring FCA claims. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has successfully used the FCA in a wide variety of industries from healthcare to government contracting to residential mortgages. For the first time, DOJ recently issued guidance on voluntary disclosures to reduce civil penalties in FCA cases. Recent Supreme Court decisions have significantly expanded the time period for relators to bring FCA actions. This webinar will examine the False Claims Act in detail, as well as how the judicial developments and new DOJ policies affect businesses that receive federal funds or contract with federal government.
