Barbara J. Hart and David C. Harrison, partners at Lowey Dannenberg Cohen & Hart, review decisions that have eviscerated the tolling protections of 'American Pipe' for the vast bulk of investors in MBS class litigation, and the recent Second Circuit holding that has mitigated this harsh trend in favor of a standing approach based upon Rule 23's class action requirements.

The Cuban state pension that Juan Gonzalez-Corzo receives since he retired from a government job in 2003 makes life easier after more than 50 years of work.

Barbara J. Hart, a partner at Lowey Dannenberg Cohen & Hart, and Kesav M. Wable, an associate with the firm, write that the Supreme Court in Shady Grove Orthopedic Associates, P.A. v. Allstate Insurance Co. has inadvertently, through CAFA, accomplished what the New York state Legislature tried but failed to do, vindicating the Donnelly Act's purpose and that of a 1998 amendment to the act creating standing for indirect purchasers.

The Texas Legislature enacted Texas Property Code §52.0012 in an attempt to streamline the process for releasing a judgment lien on homestead property through the filing of a homeowner's affidavit, writes Karen L. Hart. But, in reality, this amendment has not resolved much, and it actually may create additional issues with which creditors, debtors and title companies need to contend. Texas lawyers need to have strategies in place to effectively use and respond to this relatively new provision of Texas law.
