: Whistleblower Law BlogSupreme Court decision on qui tam cases and publicly disclosed information
By LaBovick Law
In Graham County Soil and Water Conservation District v. U.S. ex rel. Wilson (pdf), Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for a 7-2 majority, held that whistleblowers whose allegations are based on publicly disclosed information in state or local reports and investigations are barred from filing so-called qui tam lawsuits.
The Court's decision -- which also drew the first dissenting opinion by Justice Sonia Sotomayor -- said the act's public disclosure bar was not limited to federal sources of information.
