As of Friday, Toyota had attracted more than a dozen class actions filed on behalf of consumers who allege that Toyota’s failure to adequately disclose problems with its accelerator pedals amounted to fraud. Despite the rising litigation, the consumer claims face a number of obstacles, according to some law professors and defense attorneys. Consumers will have to prove actual economic damages and assert individual claims that are consistent enough to merit class certification by federal courts.

Trustee Irving Picard sued the family members in November, seeking nearly $200 million that he said had enabled them to live lavishly at the expense of Madoff investors. The consent order requires them to seek permission from Picard to spend more than $1,000 except in the case of exemptions such as legal or medical fees.

SEC Abandons Beleaguered Backdating Case Against Former Broadcom Executives

Posted by admin as News
The SEC has voluntarily dropped its civil case against four former Broadcom executives, including the former general counsel. It was the latest setback in the U.S. government’s pursuit of securities fraud tied to stock options backdating at Broadcom. In December, a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas and former CFO William Ruehle, largely due to prosecutorial misconduct. The judge also dismissed the SEC’s related complaint but gave the commission the option to amend the charges.

A New York federal judge has approved several settlement agreements between the government, trustees charged with liquidating the estate of disbarred attorney Marc Dreier and his defunct 250-attorney law firm, and other parties affected by his massive fraud. Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled Friday that a coordination agreement, which prevents the federal government from going after the proceeds of avoidance actions brought by the trustee for Dreier LLP, was “reasonable and in the best interests of the victims collectively.”
