John James Quarrell
To:
The Freedom SIPP Limited

IRN:
JJQ01001
FRN:
465194


ACTION

1. For the reasons given in this Final Notice, the FSA hereby withdraws the approval

granted to John James Quarrell (“John Quarrell”) in relation to The Freedom SIPP
Limited (“TFSL”). This action takes effect from 14 January 2013.

REASONS FOR ACTION

2. The FSA gave John Quarrell a Decision Notice on 18 March 2011 which notified him

and TFSL that the FSA had decided to withdraw his approval in relation to TFSL,
pursuant to section 63 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”).

3. On 14 April 2011, John Quarrell referred that Decision Notice to the Upper Tribunal

(Tax and Chancery Chamber) (the “Tribunal”), and on 13 April 2012 the FSA applied
to have that reference struck out.

4. The written decision of the Tribunal was released on 17 August 2012 and can be

found on the Tribunal’s website at:

5. The Tribunal decided that the reference should be struck out, and the FSA accordingly

withdraws John Quarrell’s approval in relation to TFSL, pursuant to section 63 of the
Act.

6. The FSA takes this action on the grounds that John Quarrell has acted without

integrity and is not a fit and proper person to remain approved to perform controlled
functions. Specifically, he was prohibited by The Pensions Regulator on 20 August
2009 from acting as a trustee of trust schemes in general.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS

7. This Final Notice is given under, and in accordance with, section 390(2) of the Act.

about the matter to which this Notice relates. Under those provisions, the FSA must
publish such information about the matter to which this Notice relates as the FSA
considers appropriate. The information may be published in such manner as the FSA
considers appropriate. However, the FSA may not publish information if such
publication would, in the opinion of the FSA, be unfair to John Quarrell or prejudicial
to the interests of consumers.

9. The FSA intends to publish this Final Notice and such information about the matter to

which this Final Notice relates as it considers appropriate.
