Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Causation Conundrums in Kickback-Focused FCA Cases
**Program hosted in (ET) time zone**
This roundtable will look at cases like the Third Circuit’s Greenfield decision — and those applying that decision — and see how the courts have handled defendants’ efforts to hold relators / the government to but-for and proximate causation standards at the pleading, SJ, and trial stages, and the reasons why relators / the government have pressed for somewhat lower standards.
The panel will discuss what Congress was doing when it amended the Anti-Kickback Statue (AKS) in the ACA (to state that a claim “resulting from” an AKS violation is a false claims for FCA purposes), as well as the various other causation issues that pop up in AKS-premised cases (as well as FCA cases more broadly).
The panel will also look into how the federal courts have applied similar (or arguably similar) causation language in other contexts (e.g., the Westfall Act, RICO, etc.).
