In a unanimous decision Thursday, the Supreme Court reaffirmed whistleblower protections guaranteed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The case, Murray v. UBS Securities, centered around the termination of former UBS analyst Trevor Murray, who was tasked with writing independent research reports on UBS’s commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Murray blew the whistle after he alleged he was pressured to write reports in a way that favored UBS’s products and sales strategies.
