Burford Loses ‘Market Manipulation’ Claim Against London Stock Exchange
Krishnan Nair, 15 May 2020
Burford Capital has failed in its claim against the London Stock Exchange (LSE) that it had been the victim of market manipulation, after its share price plummeted last year.
Last August, the litigation funder’s share price tumbled following what the firm referred to as a “short-selling attack” by U.S. research firm Muddy Waters. More than $1.2 billion was wiped off Burford’s value, with shares dropping as low as 64%.
