TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Legal Research Digest 55: Identification, Prevention, and Remedies for False Claims in Highway Improvement Contracting is designed to help define false claims as is set forth in case law, civil statutes, and other resources; and to distinguish fraud.

The report also explores case law on false contract claims in connection with highways; reviews conflicting federal False Claims Act, state civil false claims statutes, qui tam provisions, taxpayers' actions, or the equivalent; and highlights administrative processes—looking for current practices and procedures in place for contract disputes resolution.
