FCA Bar Eager to Scrutinize 11th Circ. Qui Tam Debate
Comments from White Collar Defense and Government Investigations Practice Co-chair Eóin Beirne and Litigation Associate Grady Campion were featured in a Law360 Healthcare Authority article previewing oral arguments in an Eleventh Circuit case challenging the constitutionality of the False Claims Act’s whistleblower provisions. This is a closely watched case that could ultimately head to the Supreme Court.
Discussing the composition of the three-judge panel, Eóin comments, “We will be watching to hear whether Judge Branch is on board with the appellees’ position and assists during argument to persuade her colleagues on the panel.”
“The hearing should be fascinating. One thing to consider during the arguments: Is counsel speaking to the judges or the justices?” Grady adds.
