What You Will Learn
For this False Claims Act live video webcast, ALI-ABA has gathered a balanced faculty of top notch relators' counsel and counsel for contractors. Our distinguished faculty will explore and debate some of the many complex legal issues that the courts are called upon to resolve in FCA cases. Among the issues the faculty will discuss and debate will be:
What has been the real-world impact of the recent Allison Engine decision?
How do the different circuits measure damages under the FCA?
Should "materiality" be read into the FCA? If so, what circuit has the correct materiality standard?
Does the False Claims Act apply when the government does not have title to the stolen funds?
Does an employee waiver of FCA claims preclude a qui tam suit?
What does "falsity" mean under the False Claims Act?
Is evidence of an actual claim required to satisfy the Rule 9(b) particularity requirement?
Can a corporation be held liable under the FCA for the actions of its employees even when the employee blatantly disregards corporate policy?
When is a parent corporation liable for the misactions of its subsidiary?
When does a corporation have an "obligation" to return government money under the reverse FCA provision?
