The Foshan Lighting Securities misrepresentation case may be resolved within the year

On October 9, there was the latest development in the widely watched case of false statement claims by shareholders against Foshan Lighting Securities. Several lawyers received a phone call from the judge in charge of the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court, requesting them to submit written legal opinions to the court before next Wednesday to further clarify the misrepresentation behavior of Foshan Lighting and the corresponding situation of the plaintiff's stock investment.
 
Lawyer Song Yixin told reporters that the Foshan Lighting Securities false statement case may produce results in 2014.
Public information shows that in early July and late August this year, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court arranged for nearly a thousand Foshan lighting cases to be heard in two batches. The amount of the litigation involved exceeded 100 million yuan. After the court hearings, these cases entered a silent period.
Lawyer Song Yixin revealed to reporters that the judge contacted the plaintiff's lawyer this time mainly because the China Securities Regulatory Commission's administrative penalty decision determined that Foshan Lighting had seven illegal acts of information disclosure. Many plaintiffs invested in Foshan Lighting stocks with different circumstances. Therefore, the court required each plaintiff to further clarify that they suffered losses due to one or more of Foshan Lighting's illegal disclosures.
Lawyers Song Yixin and Li Jian both told reporters that according to the penalty decision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, it is sufficient to confirm that Foshan Lighting has committed multiple information disclosure violations, and the multiple information disclosure violations overlap in time. Therefore, there are multiple false statements in this case. On July 15, 2010, the plaintiff was harmed by the defendant's seven false statements and suffered losses. Therefore, he claimed that the date when the earliest illegal act occurred (i.e., the date of the release of the "Announcement on Increasing Investment in Qinghai Fozhao Lithium Energy Development Co., Ltd." on July 15, 2010) was the day when the false statements were made. Since the seven false statements were publicly exposed on July 6, 2012, the date of the "Announcement on Receipt of the Decision on Administrative Supervision Measures from the Guangdong Securities Regulatory Bureau", the plaintiff claimed that July 6, 2012, should be the date of disclosure.
The two lawyers reminded that the statute of limitations in the Foshan Lighting case will expire on March 6, 2015. Investors who meet the claim conditions will lose the opportunity to win the lawsuit if they fail to file a lawsuit in time. The claim conditions are: those who bought and sold Foshan Lighting stocks from July 15, 2010 to July 6, 2012, and sold or continued to hold Foshan Lighting stocks after July 6, 2012, and have suffered losses or presumed losses can sue.
