NEVADA FALSE CLAIMS SUIT REACHES DEEP, SENDING WAKE UP CALL TO SCHEDULERS, CONSULTANTS, CLAIMS EXPERTS, BONDING COMPANIES AND THEIR COUNSEL
publication date: Aug 14, 2005
What will surely become one of the most closely watched cases in the upcoming months, the Nevada attorney general has named the schedule consultant, the claims expert, the bonding company, and numerous subcontractors and individuals of knowingly submitting false progress payment requests and manipulated or manufactured schedule analyses to support owner-caused delay claims. Treble damages, penalties, legal fees, court costs and interest are sought. A trial date has not been set. Except for the 46-page complaint, included herein, little information is available at this time. The editors of Construction Claims Advisor will be reporting weekly on new developments as this case unfolds, including additional documents, court filings, commentary from false claims experts and interviews.
