According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of China Ceramics Co Ltd (NASDAQ: CCCL) common shares between March 30, 2012 and May 1, 2014, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Shares of China Ceramics Co Ltd (NASDAQ: CCCL) grew from $1.53 per share in November 2012 to as high as $3.95 per share in October 2013.
On May 1, 2014, NASDAQ announced that trading in China Ceramics Co Ltd was halted that day for “additional information requested” from China Ceramics Co Ltd.
On that same day, China Ceramics Co Ltd announced, among other things, that on April 30, 2014, China Ceramics Co Ltd terminated the engagement of Grant Thornton as its principal independent registered public accountants, that following the decision to terminate Grant Thorton, William L. Stulginsky tendered his resignation as an independent director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, that the audit of China Ceramics Co Ltd, that China Ceramics Co Ltd is unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, and that during the preparation of its 2013 financial statements China Ceramics Co Ltd identified a write down of assets for the fourth quarter resulting from unused capacity at its Hengdali facility, which is currently estimated to be $7.5 million.
The plaintiff says that since trading in China Ceramics Co Ltd (NASDAQ: CCCL) stock remains halted its shares are illiquid and virtually worthless.
