Bulldog Investors General Partnership v. Donoghue
Petition for certiorari denied on May 20, 2013
Issue: (1) Whether the Second Circuit erred by holding that respondents had Article III, " 2 standing to prosecute this action in federal court under " 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b), in the absence of any allegation that petitioner"s statutory violation injured any respondent; and (2) whether the Second Circuit erred by holding that " 16(b) creates a "fiduciary duty," (found nowhere in the statute) which is owed by every 10% stockholder of a public company and whose breach is always an "injury-in-fact" to the company.
