Circuit Split Widens on Application of SEC Statute of Limitations

Bressler Principal Joshua D. Jones was quoted in the American Bar Association article "Circuit Split Widens on Application of SEC Statute of Limitations," by Erin Louise Palmer.

The article discusses a recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit's decision, which widened the circuit split over whether the five-year statute of limitations in 28 U.S.C. § 2462 applies to orders for injunctive relief and disgorgement in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement actions.

"One issue of note is whether proceeds from disgorgement are going to the government or being used to make the wronged party whole," notes Joshua D. Jones."
