- Summary:
- In Vermont Agency of Natural Resources v. United States ex rel Stevens , the Supreme Court considered whether states are "persons" under the False Claims Act (FCA). The Court also addressed the much broader question of whether qui tam relators meet Article III standing requirements. Analyzing the text of the Act as well as the long history of qui tam actions, the Court ruled that while relators do have Article III standing, the False Claims Act does not subject states to liability.
