Statue of limitations on an alleged violation of Rule 105 of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act.

Practice point:  A breach of fiduciary duty claim based on an alleged violation of Rule 105 of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is subject to a three-year rather than a six-year statute of limitations.

Student note:  The issue of the statute of limitations may be considered for the first time on appeal because it does not depend on a matter outside the record.
