In Brief: Investors Sue Green Tree, Alleging Mismanagement

A shareholder class action was filed against Green Tree Financial Corp. on Monday, alleging the company misled investors and failed to establish adequate loss reserves.

The suit was filed by the law firm of Pomerantz Haudek Block & Grossman and the law office of Klari Neuwelt, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

This is the third such suit filed against the manufactured housing lender since it announced in November that it was taking a massive charge because of rising prepayments.

Holders of common stock from Jan. 27, 1997, to Nov. 13, 1997, are eligible.
