Notices

Publication

Publication: special provisions relating to UCITS
391C
1
This section applies where a supervisory notice, decision notice or final notice relates to the imposition of a sanction or measure
for breach of a provision made in or under this Act for the purpose of implementing the UCITS directive
.
2
Where the FCA publishes information under section 391(4) or (5) about a matter to which a decision notice or supervisory notice relates and the person to whom the notice is given refers the matter to the Tribunal, the FCA must, without undue delay, publish on its official website information about the status of the appeal and its outcome.
3
Subject to subsection (4), where the FCA gives a final notice, it must, without undue delay, publish on its official website information on the type and nature of the breach and the identity of the person on whom the sanction or measure is imposed.
4
Subject to subsection (6), information about a matter to which a final notice relates must be published anonymously where—
a
the sanction or measure is imposed on an individual and, following an obligatory prior assessment, publication of personal data is found to be disproportionate;
b
failing to publish anonymously would jeopardise the stability of financial markets or an ongoing investigation; or
c
failing to publish anonymously would cause, insofar as it can be determined, disproportionate damage to the persons involved.
5
Where subsection (4) applies, the FCA may make such arrangements as to the publication of information (including as to the timing of publication) as are necessary to preserve the anonymity of the person on whom the sanction or measure is imposed.
6
Information about a matter to which a final notice relates must not be published where anonymous publication under subsection (4) is considered by the FCA to be insufficient to ensure—
a
that the stability of the financial markets would not be put in jeopardy; or
b
that the publication would be proportionate with regard to sanctions or measures which are considered by the FCA to be of a minor nature.
7
Where the FCA publishes information in accordance with subsections (2) to (5), the FCA must—
a
ensure the information remains on its official website for at least five years, unless the information is personal data and
the data protection legislation
requires the information to be retained for a different period;
