The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has overturned its precedent concerning the False Claims Act’s first-to-file rule, ruling that federal judges cannot dismiss actions on jurisdictional grounds based on this rule. Writing for the court, Judge Danielle Forrest emphasized the court’s responsibility to correct erroneous law, stating, “When our law is wrong, it is our duty to correct it.” This decision marks a significant shift in how similar cases will be handled in the future.
