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.
