Description

The False Claims Act and Government Contracts: The Intersection of Federal Government Contracts, Administrative Law, and Civil Fraud 2nd Edition Christine R Couvillon ISBN 9781639053759

In this newly updated volume, the authors examine the dynamic intersection of federal procurement and the False Claims Act (FCA). The book explains the highly regulated nature of government contracting and introduces the key participants within the policy, oversight, and enforcement communities responsible for supervising and policing government contracts. It also unpacks the often complex lifecycle of FCA matters—from initiation and investigation through litigation and resolution—and shows how these processes intersect with the performance and closeout of government contracts.

The authors further analyze the substantive legal standards governing FCA claims in the government contracts arena, along with the evolving evidentiary challenges practitioners face in litigating these cases. The book concludes with a forward-looking discussion of potential reforms to the FCA aimed at enhancing compliance and reducing unnecessary costs, as well as an exploration of emerging areas of FCA enforcement beyond traditional government contracting and government-funded healthcare.
