CURRENT AUDIO OVERVIEW OF THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT


FALSE CLAIMS ACT
ENTITLEMENT AND REWARD

If you have knowledge of fraud against the United States Government, the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq., entitles you to be a private Attorney General to file an action on behalf of the United States Government and rewards you with 15% to 30% of the recovery by the United States Government plus attorneys fees, expenses and costs. The False Claims Act also provides redress to "any employee who is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment."

Through 2008, $17 billion has been recovered for violations of the False Claims Act, of which $1.4 billion has been paid in awards to Whistleblowers.

With regard to the eighteen year Qui Tam Practice of Pace and Rose under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq., and numerous State False Claims Acts, Pace and Rose has prevailed in False Claims Act litigations against Northrop Grumman Corporation (thrice), Hughes Aircraft Company (twice), Parsons Corporation, TRW Inc., Fluor Corporation, FMC Corporation, Teledyne Inc., Austin Company, Pacific Steel Casting Company, PJC Technologies Inc., Waste Management Inc., H&C Disposal Company, Atlantic Richfield Company, and has numerous federal and state Qui Tam aerospace and health care actions pending and currently under the Statutory Seal in the United States District Courts.

In 1991, Pace and Rose secured the then third largest Qui Tam award for the Qui Tam Relator in the history of the False Claims Act. Pace and Rose has prevailed in seven Qui Tam actions under the False Claims Act in which the Department of Justice has elected not to intervene, a record unexcelled by any law firm since the False Claims Act was enacted during the Civil War.

Among numerous publications on Government Contracts, Accounting and Finance, Dean Francis Pace was one of the ABA Procurement Fraud Subcommittee authors of the ABA Monograph Qui Tam Litigation Under the False Claims Act and was author of the DOD reference book Negotiation and Management of Defense Contracts, John Wiley & Sons.
