]]> Comment on Southern District of Florida: US suit against Christi Sulzbach barred by statute of limitations by admin http://www.falseclaimscounsel.com/wordpress/?p=623&cpage=1#comment-141145 admin Mon, 15 Oct 2012 05:40:00 +0000 http://www.falseclaimscounsel.com/wordpress/?p=623#comment-141145 That's a good question. 28 USC 2416(d) tolls the statute of limitations while "the United States is in a state of war declared pursuant to article I, section 8, of the Constitution of the United States." There's two problems applying this to the government's complaint in the Sulzbach case, though: First and foremost, the 2416(d) wartime exclusion only applies to limitations periods under 28 USC 2415, which include contract and tort actions by the United States. It doesn't apply to the False Claims Act's limitations period, codified at 31 USC 3731(b). Second, I'm not aware of any cases interpreting 2416(d) in the context of the Authorization for the Use of Military Force enacted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Arguably, this doesn't equal a Constitutional Declaration of War.
