First American Corp. is facing a class action lawsuit that alleges the company violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by dispensing “material misrepresentations to the market” causing market prices to artificially inflate, according to a statement issued by Oklahoma City-based Federman & Sherwood, the law firm filing the suit.
The case, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, includes those in the shareholders class affected by the inflated prices, which ran from April 26, 2006 to November 6, 2007.
