Supreme Court Grants Whistleblowers More Time To Bring Cases Against Health Care Companies

Up until now due to different circuit court interpretations the False Claim Act statute of limitations has varied across the country in cases where the federal government has not intervened. The justices said whistleblowers are not considered to be U.S. officials and are not limited by the original six-year statute of limitations that starts at the time of the alleged violation. The Supreme Court justices also released unusual explanatory statements about their death penalty decisions.
