The False Claims Act And Qui Tam

If a business defrauds the U.S. government and a person offers key pieces of information to the government regarding this fraud, that person is known as a whistleblower. If found to knowingly make or cause others to make a false claim for payment to the government, the business or individual is liable for civil penalties.

Qui tam law differs from other lawsuits because the person who brings the claim against a business is not the person who was purportedly harmed. Typically, it is a private party, called a relator, who seeks compensation by coming forward with information that a false claim for payment was made to the government. Such claims could be detrimental to a business’s financial position or public image irrespective of whether they are truthful or not.
