Federal judge rules KBR Iraq false claim suit can proceed
03 Aug 2011
A federal judge on Wednesday rejected military contractor KBR Inc's request to dismiss a U.S. government lawsuit seeking to recover more than $100 million for alleged false claims over private security in Iraq. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the false claims and breach-of-contract claims could proceed, but he dismissed the unjust enrichment and payment-by-mistake counts in the lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in April 2010, claimed Houston-based KBR knowingly included impermissible costs for private armed security in billings to the U.S. Army covering the 2003-2006 time period, the Justice Department has said.
