“ultimately judged to be erroneous by the district court, the government's position that [the IRS informant] was not an employee was 'substantially justified' " for purposes of the Equal Access to Justice Act). The Eleventh Circuit reached a similar conclusion in the context of "alleged misconduct of private parties hired by federal agents to conduct covert law enforcement activities.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“`Substantial justification' under the EAJA means that the government's position must have a `reasonable basis both in law and in fact,' i.e., the government need not be `justified to a high degree,' but rather `justified in substance or in the `main' — that is, justified to a degree that could satisfy a reasonable person.”
