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


7.
LFSL 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 LFSL 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 Principles 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 LFSL’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that LFSL 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 it has had a permission.
