Question Presented (AI Summary)

Question Presented (from Petition)

QUESTION PRESENTED Did the Appellate Panel erroneously uphold the granting of summary judgment in favor of Respondent in finding no evidence of causation for a jury to consider, thereby stripping Congress’ intended reach and scope of the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§3729— 3733); and, where a summary judgment ruling is appealed, do the damages springing from the reversal of the lower court’s finding survive, herein, civil penalties from a finding of evidence of materiality?
