- Excerpt from Supreme Court Holds Securities Fraud Plaintiffs Are Not Required

To Prove Materiality of Allegedly False Statements to Certify a Class:

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States held that a securities fraud plaintiff alleging fraud on the market need not establish the materiality of an alleged fraudulent statement in order to obtain class certification. Justice Ginsburg delivered the opinion of the Court, and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy dissented.
