Just When You Thought It Was Over: Eleventh Circuit Deepens Disagreement on FCA's Tolling Provision
Client Alert | 1 min read | 06.13.18
In U.S. ex rel. Hunt v. Cochise Consultancy Inc., the Eleventh Circuit held that a relator in a non-intervened qui tam action may rely on the FCA’s tolling provision in 31 U.SC. § 3731(b)(2), which expands the 6-year statute of limitations to allow suits to be brought within 3 years of the date that the relevant government official learns of the alleged violation. In so holding, the court disagreed with already divergent views from the Fourth, Tenth, and Ninth Circuits, increasing the depth of the circuit split on this issue. C&M attorneys discuss the Eleventh Circuit’s decision and its potential impact in a recent post for Crowell & Moring’s Government Contracts Legal Forum.

California Assembly Passes AB 1776, Sending Major Antitrust Bill to the Senate
California’s COMPETE Act (AB 1776) narrowly passed the California State Assembly by three votes on Wednesday and now moves to the California State Senate. The bill — introduced in March by Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry — is modeled closely on draft legislation recommended by the California Law Revision Commission in September. AB 1776 would not only significantly expand potential liability for single-firm conduct and monopolization but, based on recent amendments, would also explicitly decouple California antitrust analysis from certain federal standards. Crowell & Moring is representing the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) in monitoring, analyzing, and responding to AB 1776.
