I31

The relevant licensing authority may impose conditions (or further conditions) on a person's holding of a restricted interest in a licensed body (or a restricted interest of a particular kind) if—

a

it is not satisfied that the approval requirements are met in relation to the person's holding of that interest, or

b

it is satisfied that a condition imposed under paragraph 17 or 28 or this paragraph on the person's holding of that interest has not been, or is not being, complied with.

2

The licensing authority may act under sub-paragraph (1) only—

I3a

if it considers that, if the conditions are complied with, it will be appropriate for the investor to hold the restricted interest without the approval requirements being met, and

I2b

before the end of such period (beginning with the time when the licensing authority becomes aware of the matters in question) as may be prescribed.

I33

If the licensing authority proposes to impose conditions (or further conditions) on the person's holding of the restricted interest, it must give the person and the licensed body a warning notice.

I34

But the licensing authority may impose conditions (or further conditions) on the person's holding of the restricted interest without giving a warning notice if it considers it necessary or desirable to do so for the purpose of protecting any of the regulatory objectives.

5

The warning notice must—

I3a

specify the nature of the conditions proposed and the reasons for their imposition, and

I2b

state that representations may be made to the licensing authority within the prescribed period.

I26

The licensing authority must consider any representations made within the prescribed period.

I37

If the licensing authority imposes conditions (or further conditions) on the person's holding of the restricted interest, it must notify the person and the licensed body as soon as reasonably practicable.

I38

The notice must—

a

specify the reasons for the imposition of the conditions, and the time from which they are to take effect, and

b

explain the effect of Part 5 of this Schedule.
