This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 1363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Securities Litigation and Enforcement provides a clear and exhaustive description of the national regime for the enforcement of securities legislation in cases of misrepresentation on financial markets. It covers 29 jurisdictions worldwide, some of them are important although their law is not well known. It will be an invaluable resource for academics and students of securities litigation, as well as for lawyers, policy-makers and regulators. The book also provides a comprehensive contribution debate on whether public or private enforcement is preferable in terms of development of securities markets. It will appeal to those interested in the legal origins theory and in comparative securities law, and shows that the classification of jurisdictions within legal families does not explain the differences in legal regimes. While US securities law often serves as a model for international convergence, some of its elements, such as securities class actions, have not been adopted worldwide.

Download or read book The Irrationality of Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits written by Patrick M. Garry and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article examines shareholder class actions and offers a proposal for reforming this area of litigation. After describing the nature and dynamics of these lawsuits (see Part II), the article in Part III outlines the criticisms of shareholder class actions. These criticisms take two basic forms, one of which mirrors those made against class action lawsuits in general, and another which is unique to shareholder lawsuits. As to the former, shareholder class actions often result in relatively trivial payments to the class members, while plaintiffs' lawyers receive millions of dollars in fees; and the class members have virtually no say in the conduct of the lawsuit or the terms of any settlement. As to the latter type of criticism made against shareholder class actions, the lawsuits often contain an inherent irrationality, at least from the standpoint of the plaintiffs themselves. The lawsuits are brought by stockholders against their own corporation. Since any settlement basically comes out of the shareholders' own assets, accompanied by an extremely high transaction price in the form of lawyers' fees, the lawsuit can actually yield a net negative return to the class members. Evidence suggests that shareholder class action litigation results more from a company's stock price movements than from the actual commission of fraud by the corporation. The connection between stock market movements and shareholder class action filings is discussed in Part IV, as are various studies analyzing the underlying merits of such lawsuits. In Part VI, a reform proposal is offered, which aims to take advantage of the unique role that shareholders occupy vis-à-vis the corporation. Most other class actions involve plaintiffs who have no legal or economic connection to defendants. Most, for instance, involve lawsuits brought by consumers against the manufacturers of allegedly defective products. In shareholder litigation, however, the plaintiffs are the owners of the defendant corporation, and hence in a unique position to remedy past misdeeds of the corporation and to deter future wrongdoing. Recognizing that shareholder class actions have failed to produce any real compensatory relief to injured investors and that such actions can actually have negative effects on shareholders, the reform proposal offered in Part VI concentrates exclusively on the goal of deterring future securities fraud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Class Action Playbook is a unique and strategic "how to" guide for practitioners seeking to bring or defend a class action. Every important issue is addressed, including the initial shape of the proposed action, choice of forum, case-management schedules, pre-certification discovery and motions activity, briefing and argument of the class-certification motion, class notice, preparation for trial, class settlements, and the binding effects of class-action judgments. Experienced practitioners Brian Anderson and Andrew Trask analyze what decisions the plaintiff and defendant must make at each stage of a proposed class action, and the considerations that might drive different strategies at each stage. The authors explain the importance of every issue, the choices available to each side, and the factors each side should consider in choosing the best path to follow. The Class Action Playbook also contains a CD-ROM appendix of high-quality example documents used by plaintiffs and defendants in the litigation of each stage of a class action.
Download or read book The Conservative Case for Class Actions written by Brian T. Fitzpatrick and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, the class action lawsuit has been a powerful tool for holding businesses accountable. Yet years of attacks by corporate America and unfavorable rulings by the Supreme Court have left its future uncertain. In this book, Brian T. Fitzpatrick makes the case for the importance of class action litigation from a surprising political perspective: an unabashedly conservative point of view. Conservatives have opposed class actions in recent years, but Fitzpatrick argues that they should see such litigation not as a danger to the economy, but as a form of private enforcement of the law. He starts from the premise that all of us, conservatives and libertarians included, believe that markets need at least some rules to thrive, from laws that enforce contracts to laws that prevent companies from committing fraud. He also reminds us that conservatives consider the private sector to be superior to the government in most areas. And the relatively little-discussed intersection of those two beliefs is where the benefits of class action lawsuits become clear: when corporations commit misdeeds, class action lawsuits enlist the private sector to intervene, resulting in a smaller role for the government, lower taxes, and, ultimately, more effective solutions. Offering a novel argument that will surprise partisans on all sides, The Conservative Case for Class Actions is sure to breathe new life into this long-running debate.
