European Union Faces Resistance in Adopting U.S.-Style Securities Fraud Class Action
The article discusses whether the U.S. securities fraud class action model should be adopted in the European Union to help defrauded investors. It explores if the EU might introduce similar laws or create a new remedy for securities fraud. The EU has not yet implemented U.S.-style class action for securities fraud due to differences in market structures and investor participation. European securities markets are less developed than those in the U.S., with fewer individual investors involved.
