Stanley A Twardy Jr. and Liz Latif wrote an article, "The False Claims Act After Escobar: A Three-Part Test," for the Business Crimes Bulletin. The article is about the decision in Universal Health Servs. V. United States ex rel Escobar, in which the Supreme Court provided a new framework for assessing false certification liability under the False Claims Act. The false certification theory of liability arises when a government contractor fails to comply with contractual provisions, statutes, or regulations, and the contractor has either expressly or impliedly certified such compliance. Twardy and Latif explain Escobar’s three-part test for establishing such liability:
1) Does the request for payment contain a “specific” representation about the goods or services provided?
2) If yes,
a) Was it false? or
b) Did the representation omit that the requestor had not complied with a statutory, regulatory, or contractual requirement, such that it made the representation a half-truth?
3) Was the misrepresentation material to the government’s payment decision?Judge Christopher Droney (ret.) and Matthew Austin co-authored the article, "The Investigation and Enforcement Landscape Under the Garland Department of Justice," for the New York Law Journal.
Judge Christopher Droney presented a webinar, "Perspectives on Practicing in the Age of COVID-19" for the Holy Cross Lawyers Association (HCLA).
