Previously published on June 2009

The United States Supreme Court held that parties have only 30 days to appeal judgments in False Claims Act ("FCA") actions in which the Government has declined to intervene. In U.S., ex rel. Eisenstein v. City of New York, New York, 129 S. Ct. 2230 (2009), the Petitioner filed a qui tam action under the FCA challenging a city-imposed fee on non-resident employees, and the Government declined to intervene.
