False Clames Suits

A federal judge has ruled that Leo Brajas, the whistle-blower who alerted authorities to problems on a cruise missile guidance system produced by Northrop, is entitled to 10.8% of an $8-million settlement reached between the government and Northrop last year. In a related action, Judge David V. Kenyon has imposed sanctions on Herbert Hafif, the attorney representing Brajas and Patricia Meyer against Northrop. A government source said sanctions of approximately $15,000 will be sought.
