Qui Tam Actions

Qui Tam, an abbreviation for a Latin phrase meaning "who sues on behalf of the king as well as for himself" is a provision of the Federal Civil False Claims Act which allows a private citizen to file suit in the name of the U.S. Government, charging fraud by government contractors and other entities who receive or use government funds, and share in any money recovered. A qui tam relator files a complaint, under seal, in a U.S. District Court that has jurisdiction over the case. Along with the complaint, the relator must also file a "written disclosure of substantially all material evidence and information the person possesses." The primary purpose for the written disclosure is to provide the Government with enough information to properly investigate the claim in order to determine if it will join in the lawsuit. Qui tam has been, and continues to be, a very effective and successful tool in combating government procurement and program fraud and recovering revenue lost as a result of the fraud.
