Supreme Court: Cochise Consultancy v. US ex rel. Hunt
The brief covers the proper interpretation of the FCA’s statute of limitations and repose, and argues that the text and purpose of the FCA supports a reading that allows the relator to take advantage of not just the six-year statute of limitations that begins when the fraud occurs; but also the three-year period that begins when the responsible official of the United States discovers facts material to the fraud, and the ten-year statute of repose.
