Please join our attorneys for a webinar on April 18, just a few
hours after the United States Supreme Court will have heard
arguments in U.S. ex rel. Schutte v. SuperValu, Inc. and
U.S. ex rel. Proctor v. Safeway, Inc. The question
presented in Schutte/Proctor is "[w]hether and when a
defendant's contemporaneous subjective understanding or beliefs
about the lawfulness of its conduct are relevant to whether it
'knowingly' violated the False Claims Act."
This is the first time since 2016 that the Supreme Court has
granted cert to weigh in on one of the elements of the False Claims
Act. The case has attracted significant attention from the United
States, which has sought leave to participate in oral argument, as
well as the defense and relator's bars. Join our team as we
recap the argument and discuss the key takeaways.
