Commentary on Sections

Part Vi: Official Listing

Section 89:  Public censure of sponsor

182.This section permits the competent authority to make listing rules which allow it to make public statements to the effect that a sponsor has contravened a requirement imposed on him by the listing rules, subject to the warning and decision notice procedure and a right to refer the matter to the Tribunal.  The power to impose financial penalties does not, however, apply to sponsors.
