<a href="https://www.goldbergkohn.com/people/david-chizewer/">David Chizewer</a> is quoted in the Modern Healthcare article, "Supreme Court Decision Could Lead to More Fraud Lawsuits in Healthcare," published May 26, 2015.

core/paragraph

The article concerns the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Kellogg, Brown &amp; Root Services Inc. v. United States ex. rel. Carter. The Court decided not to extend the statute of limitations in fraud lawsuits, but the ruling could make it easier in some cases for whistleblowers to file fraud lawsuits over issues already brought to court. In a unanimous decision, the justices partly reversed and partly affirmed a lower court's decision, sending the case back to the lower court.

The Court decided that the Wartime Suspension of Limitations Act extends statutes of limitations only in criminal cases during times of war, not civil cases, such as those filed by whistleblowers under the False Claims Act.

In the article, David says: “What this ruling by the Supreme Court does is essentially pave a wider path for the case that is most likely to be successful to see the light of day and not to be barred by an earlier filed case that may have had less of a chance of success."
