Securities Law, Peter A. Maclaren

Golden Gate University Law Review

In Hocking v. Dubois, the Ninth Circuit held that where an arrangement to sell a condominium included an option to participate in a rental pool arrangement ("RPA"), the arrangement constituted an investment contract.

This note will examine the rationale supporting the Ninth Circuit's application of securities law to condominium sales, examine the application of rules limiting private causes of action, and analyze the issues presented by the facts of Hocking.

While the regulations were established to force disclosure of material investment information and to maintain market stability, they were also designed to protect the investing public. In an attempt to reconcile these sometimes disparate purposes, one circuit has designed a theory since labeled …
