FINAL NOTICE

ACTION

1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Authority hereby takes the
following action against Cathedral City Wealth Management Limited (“Cathedral
City”).


2.
The Authority gave Cathedral City a Decision Notice on 29 January 2014 (“the
Decision Notice”) which notified Cathedral City that for the reasons given below
and pursuant to section 55J of the Act, the Authority had decided to cancel the
permission granted to Cathedral City under the Act (“Cathedral City’s
permission”).


3.
Cathedral City has not referred the matter to the Tribunal within 28 days of the
date on which the Decision Notice was given to it.


4.
Accordingly, the Authority has today cancelled Cathedral City’s permission.

DEFINITIONS

5.
The definitions below are also used in this Final Notice:


“the Act” means the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;

“the Authority” means the body corporate previously known as the Financial
Services Authority and renamed on 1 April 2013 as the Financial Conduct
Authority;

“the Overdue Balance” means regulatory fees and levies owed to the Authority
totalling £1,771.27;

“the Threshold Conditions” means the threshold conditions set out in Schedule 6
to the Act;

“the Tribunal” means the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber).

REASONS FOR THE ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice issued to Cathedral City dated 27 December 2013 (“the Warning Notice”),
and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that Cathedral City is
failing to satisfy the threshold conditions, in that the Authority is not satisfied that
Cathedral City is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether Cathedral City managed its business in such a way as to ensure
that its affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent manner.


7.
Cathedral City has failed to pay the Overdue Balance and it has not been open
and co-operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that Cathedral City has
failed to respond to the Authority’s repeated requests for it to pay the Overdue
Balance, and has thereby failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Authority’s
Principles for Businesses and to satisfy the Authority that it is ready, willing and
organised to comply with the requirements and standards under the regulatory
system.


8.
These failures lead the Authority to conclude that Cathedral City has failed to
manage its business in such a way as to ensure that its affairs are conducted in a
sound and prudent manner, that it is not a fit and proper person, and that it is
therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated
activities for which Cathedral City has had a permission.


DECISION MAKER

9.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made
by the Regulatory Decisions Committee.
