A federal appeals court says litigation alleging that BP misled investors about the rate of oil flowing after an offshore oil rig explosion in 2010 can proceed as a class action lawsuit. Tuesday's 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling means that the lawsuit, led by pension funds in New York and Ohio, can continue on behalf of all purchasers of certain types of BP securities during a 33-day period after the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Appeals court deals blow to lawsuit over NSA's bulk phone data collection
2015-08-29 23:53:25| IT Services - Topix.net
An appeals court in Washington dealt a setback Friday to an activist's lawsuit against the government over the legality of the National Security Agency's call records program, ruling that the plaintiff has not proved his standing to sue. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that public-interest lawyer Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch, has not proved that his own phone records were collected by the NSA - and so has not met a condition of bringing the lawsuit.
