Commentary on Sections

Part Vi: Official Listing

Section 75: Applications for listing

163.This section provides that only applications for listing which are by, or with the consent of, the issuer and meet the requirements imposed by the competent authority may be granted.  The competent authority can refuse an application for listing where it considers that granting it would be detrimental to the interests of investors.

164.Subsection (3) provides that no application for listing can be entertained by the competent authority in respect of securities issued by a body of a prescribed kind.  The Treasury intend to use this power to prescribe that securities issued by a private company or by an old public company (within the meaning of section 1 of the Companies Consolidation (Consequential Provisions) Act 1985) cannot be admitted to listing.  This will replicate provisions in the FS Act 1986.
