U.S. Supreme Court Trims Corporate Whistle-Blower Protections – Bloomberg

By Securities Docket on February 22, 2018, 11:19 am

The court unanimously threw out a lawsuit against Digital Realty Trust Inc. by a former company official who was fired after complaining internally about alleged violations of federal securities laws.

Writing for the court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Dodd-Frank authorized whistle-blower lawsuits only by people who had reported the alleged misconduct to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Lower courts had been divided on the issue.
