GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH CARE RECOVERY ACTIONS

United States of America v. Philip Morris, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:99CVO2496, USDC, District of Columbia (case filed 9/22/99).

In February 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that disgorgement is not an available remedy. In October 2005, the United States Supreme Court declined to review this decision, although the government could again seek review of this issue following a verdict. Trial of the action concluded in June 2005. Post-trial submissions have been fully submitted, and the parties are awaiting a final decision from the trial court.
