Swiss court weighs greater disclosure in Credit Suisse bond suit -filings

A Swiss court is weighing whether to grant Credit Suisse investors access to more documents on a 16 billion Swiss-franc ($17.6 billion) writedown of the bank's bonds, a move the lender has opposed, filings seen by Reuters show. Hundreds of bondholders have sued Swiss regulator FINMA in an effort to recoup their losses from the writedown that helped pave the way for Credit Suisse's government-orchestrated takeover by UBS in March. In the battle for disclosure, investors scored an early win in May when the St. Gallen court, in northeast Switzerland, ordered the release of FINMA's decrees on the writedown.
