Thomas v. Black & Veatch Project Corp, No. 15-3155 (10th Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseRelators Kevin and Carolyn Thomas filed a qui tam action against their former employer, Black & Veatch Special Projects Corporation (BVSPC), alleging violations of the False Claims Act. They claimed BVSPC altered documents to obtain visas and work permits from the Afghan government and then falsely certified it had complied with applicable laws to obtain payment under its contract with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The district court granted BVSPC’s motion for summary judgment, concluding Relators could not prove any alleged false certification was material to USAID’s decision to pay BVSPC. The district court also determined Relators could not prove damages. Finding no reversible error, the Tenth Circuit affirmed.
