Securities litigation presents an increasing threat to UK corporates, with the potential for both regulatory action and civil claims by investors seeking recovery of losses suffered as a result of investing in applicable securities.
Karen Anderson and Harry Edwards have contributed the England and Wales chapter of The Securities Litigation Review (now in its fourth edition) which considers the potential forms of liability and the procedures that may be used to bring claims. The chapter looks at both private and public enforcement and considers cross-border issues, as well as looking at particular developments over the past year and considering the future outlook for securities actions. A number of these issues are also considered in the shareholder claims chapter of our new textbook Class Actions in England and Wales, recently published with Sweet & Maxwell.
