JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Federal Securities Exchange Act. —

Georgia Blue Sky Law, O. C. G. A. § 10-5-1 et seq., rather than the Georgia general fraud and deceit statutes, O. C. G. A. §§ 51-6-1 and 51-6-2, are most analogous to actions under § 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, 15 U. S. C. § 78j(b) and Rule 10b-5, 17 C. F. R. § 240.10b-5, and therefore the two-year statute of limitations rather than the four-year statute applies to such claims. Friedlander v. Troutman, Sanders, Lockerman & Ashmore, 788 F.2d 1500, 1986 U. S. App. LEXIS 25076 (11th Cir. 1986).
