description On Apr 5, 2005, a unanimous panel of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ordered complaints in 10 cases to be dismissed, including one against a variable annuity company. This represents a significant setback for plaintiffs' attorneys that try to drag VA companies and mutual funds into plaintiff-friendly state courts. Congress responded to this end run around its earlier legislation with new legislation, the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998. The Seventh Circuit's decision does strike a strong blow against the latest tactic for avoiding the standards Congress has imposed to protect against frivolous securities suits.
