Supreme Court Rules That Failure to Timely File Section 16 Reports Does Not Toll Statute of Limitations in Short-Swing Profits Case | Practical Law
The US Supreme Court vacated and remanded the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's decision in Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, et. al. v. Simmonds, which found that failure to make timely disclosures of changes in ownership interests under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act tolled the two-year statute of limitations for bringing a case under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for short-swing profits liability.
