A California appellate court recently handed whistleblowers and their counsel a win by safeguarding their right to thoroughly prepare their cases for trial and thus fully expose and root out fraud. The decision resolves any uncertainty that the initial government case-assessment period might somehow count against the plaintiffs’ five-year trial deadline in qui tam whistleblower lawsuits.

Knox Ricksen attorneys Taylor Steele and Ben Fuchs explain the decision in their recent article, “California Appellate Court Protects Access to Justice for Whistleblowers.”
