Fraudulent in the United States

Fraud Against the Government

The False Claims Act allows a private individual with knowledge of past or present fraud on the federal government to sue on the government’s behalf to recover compensatory damages, civil penalties, and triple damages.

Qui Tam Provision

The False Claims Act, sometimes referred to as the FCA, was enacted in 1863, and was amended most recently in 1986. The FCA contains an ancient legal device called the “qui tam” provision which is shorthand for the Latin phrase:
“qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur” (he who brings a case on behalf of our lord the King, as well as for himself)
