Event Synopsis:
Consequent to the Halliburton II decision, which allowed defendants to rebut fraud-on-the-market presumption at the class certification stage, many courts struggled as it did not provide a clear guidance on how to assess a rebuttal evidence. The long-awaited guidance was finally provided when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its Arkansas Teachers Retirement System v. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. opinion. It opposed the district court's statement that defendants needed proof that would serve as “conclusive” evidence of the price impact’s “complete absence.” The Second Circuit further opines the sufficiency of a mere “preponderance of the evidence” to negate the presence of price impact.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide the audience with an in-depth review and analysis of recent Price Impact court rulings impacting the securities litigation landscape. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical strategies in bringing out the best in these lawsuits in a rapidly evolving legal climate.
Key topics include:
• Halliburton Co. v. Erica P. John Fund, Inc.: An Overview
• The Price Impact Rule
• Guidelines for Rebutting Price Impact
• Best Practices in Assessing Defendant's Rebuttal Evidences
• Regulatory Changes and Consequences
• Emerging Critical Issues
