A few weeks ago, I posted a link to a Cornerstone Research report concluding that securities class action settlements were at a 10-year low. Yesterday, securities litigators Daniel Tyukody and Gerald Silk posted an article in the New York Times DealBook blog entitled Understanding the Dip in Class-Action Securities Settlements with some insights explaining the downturn. Among the explanations are lower starting inventory, the added size and complexity of credit crisis-related lawsuits, increased legislative and judicial scrutiny over securities class actions, and a decline of financial restatements by companies. The article is a must read for anyone interested in understanding US securities class action trends.
