In 2016, the term “materiality” as it relates to the False Claims Act made a splash in the 2016 U.S. Supreme Court’s Escobar Decision. Subsequently, motions arose contesting materiality in order to dismiss False Claims Act cases. A March 2026 indictment, as well as what was espoused before the Third Circuit in recent oral arguments, requires a re-reading of Escobar and related Circuit Court cases addressing the holistic approach to materiality. 

This webinar parses through key aspects of Escobar and related Circuit Court cases and reaches its crescendo in analyzing oral arguments and a factual scenario in recent a recent indictment, which also applied civil penalties under the False Claims Act.
