Order Failure

Order Failure: When a Broker’s Delay Means an Investor’s Loss

Investors make decisions based on the best information available to them at the time. And when they tell their brokers to carry out those decisions, the broker is contractually obliged to do so. If the broker neglects his or her duty, the investor can lose big — and the broker can be charged with order failure losses.

Order failure occurs where an investor tells the broker to buy or sell a stock, and the broker either fails to do so or doesn’t do it in a timely manner.

If the broker’s negligence results in a loss, it could constitute broker misconduct and a breach of fiduciary duty.

If you have lost money because of order failure, or if you are a broker facing false accusations of order failure, be sure to hire an experienced lawyer to fight for your interests.
