Law::
qui tam actions (Lat) : “Qui tam” is abbreviation of Latin phrase “qui tam pro domino rege quam prosi ipso in hac parte sequitur” meaning “Who sues on behalf of the King as well as for himself.” It is an action brought by an informer, under a statute which establishes a penalty for the commission or omission of a certain act, and provides that the same shall be recoverable in a civil action, part of the penalty to go to any person who will bring such action and the remainder to the state or some other institution. It is called a “qui tam action” because the plaintiff states that he sues as well for the state as for himself. – HCB
