Grand Union Company v. United States

TJOFLAT, Circuit Judge:

The sole question presented in this appeal is whether there exists a genuine issue of material fact that precludes the district' court from entering summary judgment for Grand Union Co. on the government’s claim against it under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 231 (1976).
