CREDIT SUISSE Switzerland's finance department has issued an order to Credit Suisse to temporarily suspend certain forms of variable pay for the bank's employees, the Swiss government said. Law firm Pallas Partners and a Swiss counsel are working on possible legal action for some Credit Suisse bond investors whose holdings were wiped out following the bank's takeover by UBS Group AG , Pallas Partners said. One of the largest investors of the Credit Suisse bonds that were wiped out in the UBS takeover of the troubled Swiss bank still believes in the value of the debt class and the "bail-in" system designed to save banks seen as too big to fail.
UBS is set to enter talks with Michael Klein to terminate a deal that would have seen the Wall Street dealmaker take control of much of Credit Suisse's investment bank, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
