Program Summary

On June 1, 2023, the United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous Opinion in United States et al. ex rel. Schutte, et al. v. SuperValu, Inc., et al. The government, plaintiffs’ counsel, and defense counsel alike waited with bated breath for the results, which revealed that (1) “FCA’s scienter element refers to a defendant’s knowledge and subjective beliefs—not to what an objectively reasonable person may have known or believed “ and (2) Safeco did not apply. This brings us to the area of play in the U.S. District Courts – “recklessness”. The purpose of this webinar is to hit the highlights of SuperValu, including the areas where defense counsel and plaintiffs agree and how the “recklessness” standard is playing out.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Appreciate the core take-aways from SuperValu
  • Deep dive into the three areas of scienter under the FCA
  • Learn what is taking place in District Courts over the “reckless” battleground
