Rejecting an appeal by three firms seeking shares of the $55 million in fees awarded in the $3.2 billion Cendant Corp. settlement, the court found that the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 established a "new paradigm" for securities litigation.

Anderson Retrial Unlikely as Government Increases Use of Alternatives to Indictment
