Reason: Toronto-Dominion Bank is facing a class action lawsuit for alleged violation of federal securities laws, misleading statements and aggressive sales practices, which has notably damaged investors.
Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, is asking investors of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) who have experienced significant losses exceeding $100,000 to secure their legal representation before a crucial deadline on December 23. The firm is known for its longstanding reputation in protecting shareholders' interests and is currently leading a securities class action lawsuit against the aforementioned bank.
The lawsuit emerged following the TD's alleged violation of federal securities laws. The charges arose from misleading statements about the bank's business, operational, and compliance policies. Specifically, the bank is accused of failing to disclose pertinent details relating to its excessively aggressive sales practices. This includes a failure to disclose that its wealth asset growth and increased fee-based revenue were spurred by a performance management system that led to its employees breaking the law. These allegations have caused notable damage to investors, leading to the current class action lawsuit.
Investors who purchased TD's securities between December 3, 2015, and March 9, 2017, are eligible to participate in the lawsuit. If you are an investor who falls under this category and has suffered a loss exceeding $100,000, you are encouraged to join the lawsuit. The December 23 deadline is significant as it is the lead plaintiff deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
To join the Toronto-Dominion Bank lawsuit, no class has yet been certified, meaning that until certification, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. Rosen Law Firm has already recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors and is dedicated to working diligently to ensure a similar outcome in this case. They are urging investors to secure their legal representation before the deadline in order to protect their rights and potential recovery.
