Florida Cases to Watch in 2026
Litigation attorney Cary Aronovitz was quoted in a Law360 article spotlighting major Florida legal developments to monitor in 2026, with particular attention on a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit case that could determine whether the qui tam provision of the federal False Claims Act (FCA) is unconstitutional. He explained that a Florida federal judge's ruling has intensified scrutiny of this long-standing enforcement mechanism that has returned tens of billions of dollars to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. He also noted that multiple federal circuits have rejected similar constitutional challenges, meaning an Eleventh Circuit decision affirming the Florida district court could create a circuit split and increase the odds of U.S. Supreme Court review.
"It's a huge industry both for plaintiff counsel who represent whistleblowers and big firms who represent these companies," he said of the significance of the ruling.
