Henson & Efron, PA

Henson & Efron Attorneys Obtain Dismissal of Federal Class Action Securities Fraud Case
Henson & Efron, P.A. attorneys Joseph T. Dixon, Jr. and Wesley T. Graham won a motion to dismiss a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of their client, a former chairman and chief executive officer of a publicly held corporation that owns and operates restaurants nationwide. The case involved federal securities fraud claims under the Securities Exchange Act, and the pleading requirements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, including intent, loss causation and materiality.

In granting the motion to dismiss without prejudice, the judge recognized the Plaintiffs, securities holders of the corporation, had failed to adequately plead the necessary elements of a class-action securities fraud complaint. Specifically, the judge agreed with Henson & Efron's argument that the Plaintiffs did not allege how Henson & Efron's client knew any of the alleged acts were fraudulent.
