Are there any special requirements for non-U.S. investors in securities fraud cases?
In Utah, non-U.S. investors involved in securities fraud cases have to meet the same requirements as U.S. investors. Generally, they are entitled to protection and restitution from losses resulting from false or misleading statements and omissions of material facts when buying or selling securities. In addition, they must comply with the same regulations as U.S. investors. They must be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and abide by the securities laws applicable to registration of securities, financial disclosure, and other aspects of securities transactions. Non-U.S. investors may also be required to consult with a lawyer licensed to practice within the state of Utah in order to determine whether their investments are valid and protected under the law. Any agreements they enter into must be reviewed by an experienced securities fraud attorney to make sure that all provisions comply with Utah securities fraud law. There are also some special considerations regarding the timing of when a non-U.S. investor can bring a claim. The statute of limitations in Utah is three years from the date of the purchase or sale of the security at issue. To ensure a valid claim, non-U.S. investors should file their claim with an experienced lawyer well within this timeframe.
