Securities Roundup: FINRA Tells Broker Dealer to Cease-a-Desist Its Allegedly Fraudulent Sales, SEC Supports Creation of Variable Annuities Summary Prospectus, & US Supreme Court Hears Amgen & Comcast Appeals to Shut Down Class Action Lawsuits

In other securities news, the SEC’s Division of Investment Management director Norm Champ recently stated that the Commission’s report on retail investors and their financial literacy gives basis for creating a summary prospectus for variable annuities.

He expressed optimism that a summary prospectus for variable annuities could give significant disclosures and related benefits if designed and implemented well and that the framework used for the mutual fund summary prospectus should prove to be an effective model.

2011年,法官在某些集体诉讼案件中裁定了沃尔玛(Wal-Mart)的案件,以反对涉及多达160万名女工的tit案,他们声称自己是性歧视的受害者。最高法院裁定,沃尔玛工作太多的原告在一项诉讼中以无法作为原告。
