Court Limits Fraud Suits Over Stocks
Supreme Court rules only buyers and sellers of securities may sue for stock fraud, halting a trend toward suits by those who merely contemplated transactions. The 6 3 decision reinforces an earlier rule from the New York circuit, seen by critics as archaic and arbitrary. Justice Blackmun dissented, calling the stance callous toward the investing public. The decision comes amid broader actions on unemployment compensation for fathers and reviews of black lung benefits, with other cases denied review.
