Abstract:
In the Cyan case the Supreme Court held that SLUSA did not bar state courts from hearing 1933 Act class actions. The authors discuss the case and its aftermath. They then turn to post-Cyan litigation strategies, including stays based on duplicative actions, PSLRA requirements, jurisdictional issues, pleading standards, and corporate forum selection clauses.Keywords: Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998 (“SLUSA”) ; Cyan, Inc. v.
