Causation/Materiality/Damages in Credit Crisis Related Litigation
We set the stage with a summary of recent trends in securities litigation arising from the credit crisis - who is being sued, who is suing and what types of cases are there. Next we discuss issues and analyses relevant to causation, materiality, liability and damages in these lawsuits. In particular we focus on event studies in a period of uncertainty and also on assessing materiality in a volatile market. We also discuss considerations relevant to class certification in credit crisis related class actions and touch on the role of hedge funds in credit crisis related litigation.
