On May 18, 2011, the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, reversed an earlier Superior Court decision to dismiss the securities class action suit against Countrywide Financial Corp. and other defendants allegedly involved in the sale of RMBS between 2005 and 2007. Although the complaint alleges only claims under the federal Securities Act of 1933, the state court found that the state court has concurrent jurisdiction over the securities class action because the RMBS at issue are not “covered securities” under SLUSA.
