Qui Tam litigation is more formally known as filing a claim under the Federal Civil False Claims Act. A portion of this federal legislation allows a private citizen to sue, in the name of the federal government, claiming that fraudulent or false claims have been made by a company doing business with, or being reimbursed by, the United States. Also known as the “Lincoln Law,” it provides whistleblowers with an avenue to right wrongs that might otherwise go unchallenged.
