New Jersey High Court Holds State False Claims Act Amendment Applies Retroactively
On July 16, 2026, the New Jersey Supreme Court held that the New Jersey False Claims Act’s (NJFCA) 2023 “Opposition Amendment”—which streamlined the state attorney general’s ability to oppose dismissal of NJFCA lawsuits otherwise precludable for being based on publicly disclosed “allegations or transactions”—applied retroactively to pending false claims suits since the amendment was a procedural change of immediate effect.
