Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Barclays PLC, the U.K.'s third-
biggest bank, sued Bear Stearns Cos. over losses caused by the
implosion earlier this year of a hedge fund that invested in
subprime mortgages.
Barclays Bank PLC, a unit of London-based Barclays, claimed
the New York-based securities firm hid negative financial
information about the collapsed fund, according to a complaint
filed today in Manhattan federal court. Barclays said it was the
``sole participating shareholder.''
The collapse of the Bear Stearns fund was ``one of the most
high-profile and shocking hedge fund failures in the last
decade,'' Barclays said in the complaint, which seeks unspecified
damages.
