Suits against brokers stockholders turn to courts Toff Pipit by Carole Martin a business writer new York a More and More stockholders Are turning to the courts in an Effort to recoup some of the losses they be suffered during a 21-month Bear Market Legal experts report. A the fact that they be taken a beating in the Market during the past year and a half definitely has led to the increasing number of suits against brokerage houses and corporations a said Stanley l. Kaufman a new York attorney who has handled Many stockholder actions. A people had a Way of forgetting when everything was going Well and All kinds of Young Side burned tycoons and geniuses were putting corporations together building empires and conglomerates making irresponsible statements and in fact violating the Laws a Kaufman said. A the Public paid no attention As Long As they were making Money but when the Bubble burst people said a Here Are these Laws to protect me so Why not use them. What has happened in the past year shows the Wisdom of the securities Laws passed after the great depression a he said. Sonto experts in securities Law estimate that several Hundred stockholder suite currently Are Active across the country. Alan r. Bromberg a professor at Southern methodist University who specializes in securities Law thinks there will be More. Although the Legal experts say the declining Market and recent brokerage House failures gave impetus to new stockholder litigation the a a Liberal interpretation of Federal securities Laws and regulations by the courts is cited by some As an important contributing Factor. In Houston recently a judge held that the trustee for a company reorganizing under the Federal bankruptcy taws has the authority to sue the principals on behalf of All the stockholders a i think you re going to see much More of this where the trustees Are trying to recover for the shareholders and the company when the insiders have manipulated the Stock a Bromberg said. Recently a new York Man sued a brokerage House for �?ochurning1�?T his account. Churning or excessive trading in or Der to earn commissions has been illegal for Many years but Legal sources said recovery in the past usually was limited to the amount of commissions in this Case however the judge observed that a horses would have Given the plaintiff a fairer Opportunity to realize on his investment a and the Man was awarded the full amount of his losses. A growing number of suits Are being brought under a Section of the 1934 Federal securities act which provides or forfeit to of profits realized on the a a swing a that is the Purchase and Sale of securities by company insiders in a period of Jess than six months. Under this Section the insider who makes a profit on a in and out transactions in his Compa nyx a securities is assumed to be using corporate information that has t been disclosed to the Public and the profit therefore belongs to the corporation. A Sale might simply be the Exchange of shares in a corporate merger. New stockholder suits also Are being generated by a 1966 addition to the supreme courts Federal rules of civil procedure which permits class actions including those bringing suit under the securities Law. In a class action one person can sue on of the whole group in the same category the Laws however Arentt always an investors answer to a downturn in the Market.
