BofA $8.5 bln settlement moves to federal court
NEW YORK |
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Investors who objected to Bank of America Corp’s proposed $8.5 billion settlement of claims related to losses on mortgage-backed securities have moved the case to federal court from a New York state court.
In a filing on Friday, investors led by 11 entities sharing the name Walnut Place said the size of the case qualifies as a “mass action” giving federal courts jurisdiction.
Bank of New York Mellon Corp, as trustee under 530 mortgage securitization trusts, had negotiated the accord with 22 institutional investors.
