Dodd-Frank Anti-Retaliation Provisions Don’t Protect Overseas Whistleblower — The D & O Diary

By Securities Docket on October 24, 2013, 9:05 am

However, a recent decision in the Southern District of New York could put a damper on overseas whistleblowing. In an October 21, 2013 opinion, Judge William H. Pauley held that the Dodd-Frank Act’s whistleblower anti-retaliation provisions do not protect whistleblowers outside the U.S. Judge Pauley’s decision follows a June 2013 Southern District of Texas decision in the GE Energy (USA) case in which Judge Nancy Atlas held that the anti-retaliation provisions do not apply extraterritorially. Without the protection of the anti-retaliation provisions, prospective overseas whistleblowers could be deterred from submitting reports to the SEC.
