Facts

Claimant Peter P. Reddy Sr. asserted a cause of action against E*Trade Securities LLC for negligence in handling his account. The cause of action relates to Reddy's purchase of options in Inverness Medical.

Damages

Claimant requested $22,059 in compensatory damages and interest in the amount of 10 percent, equaling $2,206, for a total of $24,260. He also requested attorneys fees and costs and any other relief the arbitrator deemed appropriate.

Result
