What is a failure to execute trades?
By: LawInfo
Usually a broker and a client will talk about the different types of investment strategies that are available to the client. Based on the clients goals, a broker will usually make a recommendation as to what type of investments are appropriate. Most of the time, a broker and a client will agree on what investments will be made. However, sometimes, a broker will refuse to plan an order that the client demands. When the client still expects the broker to place an order, and the broker does not place an order (so long as the order is liquidating a position), then the client may be able to sue for failure to execute a trade.
