US constitutionality of qui tam relator seen as ripe for legal challenge

Dec. 12, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The qui tam or whistleblower lawsuit under the U.S. False Claims Act (FCA) has driven a large volume of litigation against life science companies, but three Supreme Court justices expressed misgivings about the constitutionality of the qui tam relator in the Court’s hearing of Polansky. Should a fourth Supreme Court justice harbor similar misgivings, the matter could be ripe for a hearing at the Supreme Court with the possibility that the qui tam relator would then be declared unconstitutional.
