Loss Causation In Fraud On The Market Cases Post-Dura Pharmaceuticals, Ann Morales Olazábal Jul 2006

Loss Causation In Fraud On The Market Cases Post-Dura Pharmaceuticals, Ann Morales Olazábal

Business Law Articles and Papers

As a critical matter, class action securities fraud plaintiffs employing the fraud-on-the-market theory of reliance must still plead and eventually prove loss causation and damages. The Supreme Court's April 2005 decision in Dura Pharmaceuticals v.
