Question

Under the Uniform Securities Act, which of the following negates a client's right to a civil suit for damages?
I. The advice that is the subject of the suit was given more than 3 years ago
II. The client has died
III. The client willingly signed a statement waiving the adviser's compliance with the provision of the act on which the suit is based

Answer 1

Answer:

I

Explanation:

The Uniform securities act is a framework that serves to protect investors as it guides the states securities regulation in managing security related fraud and also helps the security exchange commission's enforcement and regulation .

It allows the clients right to civil suit for damages under certain conditions except a situation such as when the advice that is the subject of the suit was given more than three years ago.

A civil suit can only be filed on the earlier of "within 3 years of the alleged infraction or 2 years of the discovering of the violation"
