The Authority issued to Mr Nagy the Decision Notice which notified him that for
the reasons given below and pursuant to section 55J of the Act, the Authority had
decided to cancel Mr Nagy’s Part 4A permission.

DEFINITIONS
5.
The definitions below are used in this Final Notice:
“the Act” means the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;
“the Authority” means the Financial Conduct Authority;
“the Decision Notice” means the Decision Notice issued to Mr Nagy dated 12
January 2018;
“Mr Nagy’s Part 4A permission” means the permission granted by the Authority to
Gabor Nagy pursuant to Part 4A of the Act;
“the Return” means the CCR007 return for the period ended 16 January 2017,
which Mr Nagy was due to submit to the Authority by 27 February 2017;
“the suitability Threshold Condition” means the Threshold Condition set out in

REASONS FOR ACTION
6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that Mr Nagy is
failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not
satisfied that Mr Nagy is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether Mr Nagy managed his business in such a way as
to ensure that his affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.
7.
This is because Mr Nagy has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to
submit the Return. Mr Nagy has not been open and co-operative in all his
dealings with the Authority, in that Mr Nagy has failed to respond adequately to
the Authority's repeated requests for him to submit the Return, and has thereby
failed to comply with Principle 11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and
to satisfy the Authority that he is ready, willing and organised to comply with the
requirements and standards under the regulatory system.
8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of Mr Nagy’s suitability, lead
the Authority to conclude that Mr Nagy has failed to manage his business in such
a way as to ensure that his affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent manner,
that he is not a fit and proper person, and that he is therefore failing to satisfy
the Threshold Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which Mr Nagy
was granted a Part 4A permission.
