(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations set out the circumstances in which a person who qualifies for authorisation under Schedule 3 (EEA passport rights) to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“the Act”) may participate in the compensation scheme established under Part XV of the Act (“the new scheme”). Regulation 2 provides that any credit institution or investment firm (as defined in regulation 1) are prescribed for the purposes of section 213(10) of the Act with the result that they are not “relevant persons” (and so are not participants in the new scheme) unless they elect to participate in the new scheme. Under section 214, the new scheme may provide that prescribed categories of persons may elect to participate in the scheme. Regulation 3 prescribes for this purpose investment firms and credit institutions which have established a branch in the United Kingdom and whose home state compensation scheme affords a level of protection which is exceeded by the new scheme. Under section 224, the scheme manager under the new scheme will not have a right to inspect documents held by the Official Receiver on the insolvency of prescribed persons who qualify for authorisation under Schedule 3. Regulation 4 prescribes credit institutions and investment firms for this purpose.
