2021 was another busy year in False Claims Act enforcement and litigation. Significant decisions were issued across the circuits, spanning government dismissal authority, materiality, scienter, Rule 9(b) pleading standards, the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause, and more.

These highlights are among the important developments discussed by C&M attorneys in a “Feature Comment” published in The Government Contractor.
