§439.3. Qui tam action procedures; alternative remedies
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subpart, the secretary or the attorney general may elect to pursue an administrative or civil action against a qui tam defendant through any alternative remedy available to the secretary or the attorney general. If an alternate remedy is pursued in another proceeding, the person initiating the action shall have the same rights he would have had if the action had continued in accordance with this Subpart. Any finding of fact or conclusion of law made in the other proceeding that has become final shall be conclusive on all parties to an action in accordance with this Subpart. A finding or conclusion is final if it has been finally determined on appeal, if all delays for the filing of an appeal regarding the finding or conclusion have expired, or if the finding or conclusion is not subject to judicial review.
