Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 Explanatory Notes

Section 322: Rules applicable to former underwriting members

577.This section, like section 320, confers on the Authority powers to impose requirements on former member of Lloyd’s.  Whereas section 320 would enable the Authority to impose specific requirements on former members, in much the same way as it would impose restrictions on a Part IV permission in relation to an authorised person, this section allows the Authority to make rules that will apply more generally to former members or classes of former member.  The grounds for exercising the power are that the Authority considers it appropriate for the purpose of protecting policyholders.  The procedures under section 319, including for example the consultation arrangements, apply to the exercise of this power.
