F1... rulesU.K.

6.—(1) The definition of “private person” in regulation 3 is prescribed for the purposes of section [F2138D(6)] of the Act (and so the contravention by an authorised person of a rule is actionable at the suit of a person who falls within that definition and who suffers loss as a result of that contravention).

(2) A case where any of the conditions specified by paragraph (3) is satisfied is prescribed for the purposes of section [F3138D(4)] of the Act (and so in such a case the contravention of a rule is actionable at the suit of a person who is not a private person).

(3) The conditions specified by this paragraph are that—

(a)the rule that has been contravened prohibits an authorised person from seeking to make provision excluding or restricting any duty or liability;

(b)the rule that has been contravened is directed at ensuring that transactions in any security or contractually based investment (within the meaning of the Regulated Activities Order) are not effected with the benefit of unpublished information that, if made public, would be likely to affect the price of that security or investment;

(c)the action would be brought at the suit of a person (who is not a private person) acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of a private person and any remedy would be exclusively for the benefit of that private person and could not be effected through an action brought otherwise than at the suit of the fiduciary or representative.

[F4(d)the rule that has been contravened requires a relevant authorised person to respond to a claim for compensation within a specified time limit, or to pay interest in specified circumstances in respect of any such claim.]

[F5(4) In this regulation—

(a)“relevant authorised person” means an authorised person with a Part IV permission—

(i)to effect or to carry out relevant contracts of insurance; or

(ii)to manage the underwriting capacity of a Lloyd’s syndicate as a managing agent, the members of which effect or carry out relevant contracts of insurance underwritten at Lloyd’s;

where a “relevant contract of insurance” means a contract of insurance against damage arising out of or in connection with the use of motor vehicles on land (other than carrier’s liability);

(b)“rule” has the meaning given by section [F6138D(5)] of the Act; and

(c)“specified” means specified in rules.]
