Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 03.03.09

In Daewoo Eng'g and Constr. Co. v. U.S. (Fed. Cir. Feb. 20, 2009), the Federal Circuit affirmed the CFC's findings that the contractor had submitted a $64 million claim involving approximately $50 million based on material misrepresentations that amounted to a fraud. From this, the contractor received the triple whammy of forfeiting its entire claim under the CDA, being penalized $50 million under the CDA, and being fined $10,000 under the FCA.
