Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against Triple Canopy
False Claims Act Case Brought By Justice Department, Former Employee Denied
RESTON, Va., June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Triple Canopy, Inc., a global provider of mission support, security and training services, said today that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has granted Triple Canopy's motions to dismiss claims alleging fraud and violations of the False Claims Act brought by the Department of Justice and by a former employee against the company.
Triple Canopy is pleased with the Court's ruling, which validates that the company did not submit false claims for payment to the United States Government. As it has always done, the company will continue to focus on providing the highest quality services to our customers around the world. Triple Canopy takes pride in its role as an industry leader in compliance, accountability and transparency, the very principles that have been ingrained in the organization since its inception.
In a 28-page opinion, the Court dismissed the former employee's complaint in total, and rejected the Justice Department's False Claims Act, fraud, and unjust enrichment counts, adopting many of the arguments Triple Canopy raised in its motions to dismiss. The company added that it will continue to contest the government's breach of contract and payment by mistake claims, both of which it believes lack merit.
