Credit Suisse : MBIA says Credit Suisse hid crucial documents in U.S. mortgage case
Credit Suisse Group AG has withheld many key documents from MBIA Inc in a lawsuit accusing the Swiss bank of lying about how it processed loans used in mortgage-backed securities, and it should be ordered to review whether it has more evidence suggesting misconduct, the bond insurer said.
In a filing in New York state court on Monday, MBIA objected to what it called Credit Suisse’s failure to turn over “some of the hottest documents” in the 4-1/2-year-old lawsuit, on the ground that they were “non-responsive.”
MBIA, based in Armonk, New York, said it learned of the documents only in the last few months, after a court told Credit Suisse to turn over deposition transcripts from other U.S. cases involving similar claims.
Credit Suisse spokesman Drew Benson declined to comment.
