Schedule 10: Compensation: Exemptions
820.This Schedule sets exemptions from the liability to pay compensation for false or misleading particulars in certain circumstances under section 90. Paragraph 5 provides that a person is not liable to pay compensation for loss resulting from a statement in the listing particulars which reproduces a statement made, for example, in a public official document. Paragraph 6 provides that there is also no liability if the person against whom action is taken satisfies the court that the person who acquired securities did so in the knowledge that a statement in the listing particulars was false or misleading. In such a case the person suffering the loss would not have been misled.
