“LSLCL’s Part 4A permission” means the permission granted by the Authority to

LSLCL pursuant to Part 4A of the Act;

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 LSLCL is failing
to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied
that LSLCL is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether LSLCL managed its business in such a way as to ensure that its
affairs were conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because LSLCL has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to
submit the Return. LSLCL has not been open and co-operative in all its dealings
with the Authority, in that LSLCL has failed to respond adequately to the Authority's
repeated requests for it 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 it 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 LSLCL’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that LSLCL 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 LSLCL was granted a Part
4A permission.
