How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that indemnity claims relating to “de facto” federal securities claims are barred, but not barring indemnity claims premised “solely on state law”
• recognizing that state law claims sufficiently independent of the federal securities claims might give rise to indemnification claims that would be beyond the proper scope of a bar order even if the damages were to overlap
• indemnification premised on liability arising from a violation of the federal securities laws “whether clothed as state law, tort claims or federal security claims” is preempted and properly barred.
• state law claims masquerading as contribution claims barred by settlement
• discussing the differences between contribution and indemnification
