I would assume if it was completely without basis those in the legal departments of the various brokerages and banks would tell their employers/customers not to worry about it.
I think even a minor risk of litigation, let alone successful litigation, would be enough to chill the market without concessions being made in pricing. A completely baseless claim wouldn't have that impact, but there are certainly points of argument here, at least enough to have a court entertain them.
