Last month the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held in SEC. v. Graham et al that the five-year statute of limitations in 28 USC §2462 applies to SEC claims for disgorgement or declaratory relief.
Although Graham is not binding outside of the Eleventh Circuit, it represents a significant challenge to the SEC’s stated position that disgorgement is not subject to the U.S. Code’s general statute of limitations established by §2462 because it is an equitable remedy.
