United States Ex Rel. Lacorte v. Wagner

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• prohibiting intervention by individuals in a qui tam suit because only the government can intervene under statute
• \The only way to pre- serve the balance that Congress struck is to apply the unqualified con- gressional mandate of section 3730(b)(5) to bar all would-be intervenors other than the government.\
• FCA provision “does not confer any rights on would-be intervenors” but “simply preserves the rights of the original qui tam plaintiffs when the government resorts to an alternate remedy in place of the original action.”
• “Section 3730(c)(5) assumes that the original qui tam action did not continue.”
