Investors' hopes for major reform of exchange practices and fees are dimming considerably, following two recent legal setbacks for the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On June 16, a much-anticipated transaction fee pilot program designed to examine the "maker-taker" system, where some brokers are charged fees and others are offered rebates, came to an abrupt halt. In a challenge brought by the exchanges, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said the SEC "clearly exceeded" its authority to launch the program, which had been widely supported by market watchdogs and investor groups, including scores of U.S. and Canadian pension funds. The court agreed with the exchanges that more than just a "benign quest for data," the pilot could have hurt liquidity and widened stock price spreads.

The incident has brought to the fore a few issues that need to be addressed urgently. The first and the foremost one relates to protecting the investors from fraudulent practices indulged in by the unscrupulous section of brokerage houses. The brokers are now free to sell the clients' stocks available with the latter's BO (beneficiary owner) accounts. The share trading...
