The U.S. Supreme Court recently resolved a circuit split by holding that, in a False Claims Act action, (1) the government may seek dismissal of a qui tam case in which the government initially declined to intervene over the relator’s objection so long as it later intervened in the litigation, and (2) district courts should apply Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a), which says the government has broad latitude to seek dismissal.

On June 29, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court abrogated the de
minimis standard that many lower courts have applied for
decades to determine when Title VII permits employers to refuse an
employee's request for religious accommodation. In its
unanimous opinion in Groff v. DeJoy, the Court
"clarified" that employers may refuse such a request only
when it would cause "substantial increased costs" to the
conduct of its business.
