Description

This form contains sample jury instructions, to be used across the United States. These questions are to be used only as a model, and should be altered to more perfectly fit your own cause of action needs. Georgia Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 Rule 10(b— - 5(c) Fraudulent Practice or Course of Dealing Stockbroker Churning — Violation of Blue Sky Law and Breach of Fiduciary Duty is a legal term that encompasses several types of fraudulent practices and violations committed by stockbrokers in Georgia. These practices are associated with churning, which refers to excessive trading by a broker with the intention of generating commissions rather than serving the best interests of their client. In such cases, the stockbroker engages in a deceptive course of dealing that leads to financial losses for the client. The violation of Blue Sky Law is another aspect of this jury instruction, which refers to the illegal sale of securities. Blue Sky Laws aim to protect investors from fraudulent activities in the securities' industry. When a stockbroker engages in fraudulent practices or breaches their fiduciary duty, they may also violate these laws, further aggravating the severity of their actions. Here are some types of fraudulent practices, violations, and breaches that may come under Georgia Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 Rule 10(b— - 5(c) Fraudulent Practice or Course of Dealing Stockbroker Churning — Violation of Blue Sky Law and Breach of Fiduciary Duty: 1. Excessive trading: The stockbroker repeatedly buys and sells securities in the client's portfolio solely to increase their commissions, disregarding the client's investment objectives and need for stability. 2. Unauthorized trading: The stockbroker executes trades without obtaining proper authorization from the client, essentially making investment decisions on behalf of the client without their consent. 3. Failure to disclose: The stockbroker intentionally withholds or misrepresents important information to the client, such as the risks associated with specific investments or details regarding the broker's compensation structure. 4. Unsuitability: The stockbroker recommends investments that are unsuitable for the client's financial situation, investment goals, and risk tolerance, resulting in losses that could have been avoided with proper advice. 5. Negligence: The stockbroker fails to exercise due diligence and reasonable care in managing the client's account, resulting in financial harm. 6. Misrepresentation or omissions: The stockbroker provides false information or fails to disclose material facts regarding an investment, leading the client to make uninformed decisions. 7. Over concentration: The stockbroker excessively concentrates the client's portfolio in a particular security or industry, exposing the client to increased risks and volatility. These are just a few examples of the various types of fraudulent practices, violations of Blue Sky Laws, and breaches of fiduciary duty that may fall within the scope of Georgia Jury Instruction — 4.4.3 Rule 10(b— - 5(c). Each case may involve a unique combination of these practices, depending on the circumstances and actions of the stockbroker.
