Supreme Court tightens rules in whistle-blower suits
The Supreme Court limited awards for whistle blowers in a False Claims Act case stemming from environmental cleanup at Rocky Flats near Denver. James Stone, who exposed fraud by Rockwell International, could have claimed up to a $1 million share but was denied due to lack of direct knowledge.
