The Top FCA Developments of 2019
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.30.20
The third year of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement under the Trump administration was defined by a number of notable settlements, the implementation of several policy changes announced last year concerning how the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue (and in some instances, dismiss) cases under the FCA, and a Supreme Court decision addressing the statute of limitations circuit split. These highlights are among the important developments discussed by C&M attorneys in a “Feature Comment” published in The Government Contractor, which considers key issues impacting FCA liability, such as the increased risk associated with cybersecurity noncompliance, small business fraud, and the continued significance of materiality post-Escobar.

The power to tariff is vested in Congress by the Constitution and cannot be delegated to the President absent express authority from Congress.
