Senator Grassley joins in the filing of a whistleblower tax fraud briefs to the Supreme Court
On January 19, Senator Charles Grassley filed an Amicus Curiae ("friend of the court") brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Allison Engine Co., Inc. v. United States ex rel. Sanders. The Sanders case will have far-reaching impact on the viability of America's most important whistleblower protection law: The False Claims Act.
According to Stephen Kohn, President of the National Whistleblower Center, "If the Supreme Court were to find against the whistleblowers in this case, it will open a loophole by which fraudulent companies will launder their dirty contracts through subcontractors, thereby defeating the presentment requirement."
The Whistleblower Protection Blog and TAF generously provided the briefs filed by the Petitioner's, Respondents, Senator Grassley and Tax Payers Against Fraud.
