The Second Circuit as a matter of first impression, considered whether the bar on extraterritorial application of the United States securities laws, as set forth in Morrison v. National Australia Bank Ltd., 561 U.S. 247 (2010), precludes claims arising out of foreign‐issued securities purchased on foreign exchanges, but cross‐listed on a domestic exchange. It concluded that federal courts had no jurisdiction to consider such claims under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
