Morgan Stanley sees $292 million loss from Deutsche Bank lawsuit

(Reuters) - Morgan Stanley said on Monday it could lose more than $290 million from a lawsuit by Deutsche Bank National Trust Co over the quality of about $735 million of the Wall Street firm's mortgages.

Deutsche Bank in April last year filed a complaint that alleged Morgan Stanley had falsely represented the quality of the loans, the U.S. bank said in a regulatory filing.

The loans were in a trust backed by a Morgan Stanley unit in which the Deutsche Bank subsidiary was a trustee, the filing said.

Morgan Stanley said the Southern District of New York court last month denied in part the company's motion to dismiss the case.

The bank estimated a loss of about $292 million, plus other costs, as a result of the judgment.
