Die vorherige Meldung vereitelt eine Vertrauenshaftungsanspruch, entschied das Bundesberufungsgericht des siebten Bezirks in Stark Trading et al. v. Falconbrigde Ltd., Az. 08-1327, denn die Meldung nahm der Täuschung das Vertrauenspotenzial.
Statt eines saftigen Schadensersatzes erhält der Kläger am 5. Januar 2009 diese Belehrung von Richter Posner, der die Abweisung nach der Schlüssigkeitsprüfung durch das Untergericht bestätigt:
This suit was dismissed by the district court in January 2008, more than two years after it had been filed. Just imagine how long it would have taken to dispose of the case by summary judgment after the usual pretrial discovery in a big commercial case. Defendants are not to be subjected to the costs of pretrial discovery in a case in which those costs, and the costs of the other pretrial maneuvering common in a big case, are likely to be great, unless the complaint makes some sense. If after 85 pages of huffing and puffing in the complaint, and another 83 pages of appellate briefs, sophisticated investors cannot make their case seem plausible, the litigation must end then and there. AaO 12.
