Failure to Execute Securities Orders
Definition:
Investors trust stock brokers to properly execute securities orders. When an investor advises the stock broker to sell or purchase a stock, the broker should sell or purchase, with the best prices available. If an investor places an order and the broker declines, it can result in failure to execute securities orders. When a stock broker does not meet those obligations, it may result in liability for the losses.
Consequences of Failure to Execute Securities Orders:
When a broker or investment advisor refuses to place an order, an investor may have a valid complaint. Whether it is a purchase order or short sale, the broker can refuse the order with certain exceptions, especially when dealing in good faith. However, when the broker is ordered to close an order, they should not fail to execute securities orders.What a Lawyer can do for you:
