Qui tam action. Definition. In a qui tam action, a private party called a relator brings an action on the government's behalf. The government, not the relator, is considered the real plaintiff. If the government succeeds, the relator receives a share of the award. Also called a popular action.
Qui tam lawsuits originated in England and have been used in the United States since colonial times. The term qui tam is derived from the Latin phrase âhe who sues on behalf of the king as well as for himself.â In thirteenth-century England, qui tam was used to enforce the Kingâs laws.
