Supreme Court Determines When the U.S. Government May Dismiss an FCA Action Over a Relator’s Objection

  • According to the Supreme Court, in False Claims Act “qui tam” suits, the federal government can move for dismissal of a case over the relator’s objection even outside of the “seal period.”
  • A key factor considered for government dismissal post-seal period may include burdensome discovery, which means employers facing qui tam actions should strategically consider this and other pressure points in the course of litigation.

Once Bitten, Twice Shy: COBRA Excise Tax Audits May Add to COBRA's Bite

The advent of Health Care Reform has not lessened the importance of complying with existing Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and Internal Revenue Code requirements for employer-provided group health plans, such as COBRA, which requires covered health plans to provide certain notices and the opportunity to elect continued coverage to covered persons (qualified beneficiaries) who would otherwise lose coverage because of certain "qualifying events" such as termination of employment, loss of dependent status, and others.

New Case Provides Lessons That May Help Companies Avoid Pitfalls When Structuring Independent Contractor Relationships

The district court's opinion denying cross-motions for summary judgment in Bobbitt v. Broadband Interactive, Inc., No. 8:11-cv-2855 (M.D. Fla. Oct. 21, 2013) illustrates how not to structure an independent contractor relationship and how not to lay the groundwork to defend that relationship in the event of litigation.  The case also serves as a warning that even well-conceived independent contractor relationships may be open to question by a court that is inclined to distrust them.

Dear me sudz: the life and times of addie may / K. W. Attle.

Keith Attle 700258 : Addie May was in many ways before her time. She was strong willed, not afraid to speak her mind, and could distinguish between right and wrong with good common sense. For her, there was no middle ground. This became evident at a very early age as she was born with two strikes against her. First, one leg was shorter than the other, which caused her to limp all of her life and subjecting her to be ridiculed as a child. Secondly, she was left-handed. Today this is not an issue, but for thousands of years, this attribute was associated with witchcraft and devil possession. Addie May's mother tried everything she could to change her but to no avail. Even a sore and blistered hand and punishment by her first-grade teacher did not dissuade her. Her formal education finished at eighth grade, yet she became a court deputy, a bookkeeper for her husband's hugely successful business, a practical nurse, mother, and grandmother. It was the later when I came to know her. Death was a frequent visitor throughout her life. Somehow she was able to mask her inner emotions while smiling and comforting others facing pain, distress, and death. She was a decent, honorable, and compassionate human being who never thought of herself as anything special. This book is a tribute to a woman who never received the recognition she deserved. It is my desire to correct this. It's unfortunate she will never know.
