周五,广州市中级人民法院在其官网发布了特别代表人诉讼权利登记公告,正式将康美药业的普通诉讼转为特别代表人诉讼,这是国内首起集体诉讼案。 请看本报昨日的报道: China launched the country’s first class-action lawsuit against a listed firm Friday, targeting Kangmei Pharmaceutical Co., as regulators vowed “zero tolerance” against accounting fraud and other capital markets “tumors.” The China Securities Investor Service Center, a government-affiliated body, is suing Kangmei on behalf of more than 50 individual investors in a landmark case in China’s capital markets, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said. 报道中的class-action lawsuit就是“集体诉讼”。 A class-action lawsuit is a legal action filed against a defendant by a group of individuals. It is designed for situations in which many individuals have suffered similar injuries as a result of the defendant’s actions. 集体诉讼指一群人对一个共同被告发起的诉讼。适用于多人由于该被告的行为承受相似的损失的情形。 |
