Specific rule-making powersU.K.

137OThreshold condition codeU.K.

(1)Either regulator may make rules supplementing any of the conditions for the time being set out in or specified under Schedule 6 that is expressed to be relevant to the discharge of that regulator's functions.

(2)Rules made under this section by a regulator are referred to as that regulator's “threshold condition code”.

(3)A threshold condition code may in particular—

(a)specify requirements which a person must satisfy in order to be regarded as satisfying a particular condition in relation to any regulated activities;

(b)specify matters which are, or may be, or are not, relevant in determining whether a person satisfies a particular condition in relation to any regulated activities.

(4)Except where a regulator's threshold condition code so provides, it is not to be regarded as limiting the matters that are, or may be, relevant in determining whether a person satisfies a particular condition in relation to any regulated activities.

(5)A threshold condition code cannot impose obligations that are enforceable against authorised persons otherwise than through the threshold conditions.]
