Where a person contravenes section 997, 998, 999, 1000 or 1001, then, without limiting the generality of section 1005, any other person who entered into a transaction for the sale or purchase of securities with the first-mentioned person or with a person acting on behalf of the first-mentioned person may, by action under section 1005 against the first-mentioned person or against any person involved in the contravention, recover the amount of any loss suffered by the person bringing the action because of the difference between the price at which the securities were dealt in that transaction and the price at which they would have been likely to have been dealt in such a transaction when the first-mentioned transaction took place if the contravention had not occurred.
