The Top FCA Developments Of 2018

From the government’s renewed use of its dismissal authority to changes to the policy on corporate cooperation credit, the second year of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement under the Trump administration was defined by several announcements concerning how the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue cases under the FCA. These policy reforms are among the many FCA developments highlighted by C&M attorneys in a "Feature Comment" published in The Government Contractor, which considers key issues such as small business fraud, materiality post-Escobar, trade and domestic preferences, and the Supreme Court’s review of a circuit split concerning the statute of limitations.
