What is liability pursuant to the Securities Enforcement Remedies Act?
The Securities Enforcement Remedies Act provides for additional civil liability for defendants found to have violated the securities laws. A judge may impose fines of up to $500,000 per institution and $100,000 per individual. This can also lead to a court prohibiting an individual from serving as an officer or director of a corporation.
