Camerata Property Inc v Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Ltd

Camerata Property Inc v Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Ltd

Credit Suisse's application for summary judgment is dismissed because Camerata's claims regarding the three notes, negligent mis-statement, lack of authority, and negligent mismanagement have a realistic, albeit unlikely, prospect of success. Issue estoppel from previous judgments does not bar the claims since the level of risk associated with the three notes has not been previously investigated and may exceed the risk acceptable to Mr. Ventouris.
