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

DEFINITIONS

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

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

Motorhomesuk (Lincs) Limited

16 November 2016

“the Authority” means the Financial Conduct Authority;

“the Decision Notice” means the Decision Notice issued to ML dated 11 October
2016;

“ML” means Motorhomesuk (Lincs) Limited;

“ML’s permission” means the permission granted by the Authority to ML pursuant
to Part 4A of the Act;

“the Principles” means the Authority’s Principles for Businesses;

“the Return” means the CCR007 return for the period ended 31 December 2015,
which ML was due to submit to the Authority by 12 February 2016;

“the suitability Threshold Condition” means the Threshold Condition set out in
paragraph 2E of Schedule 6 to the Act;

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

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

“the Warning Notice” means the Warning Notice issued to ML dated 14 September

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 ML is failing to
satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied
that ML is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances,
including whether ML 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 ML has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to submit
the Return. ML has not been open and co-operative in all its dealings with the
Authority, in that ML 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 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 ML’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that ML 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 ML has had a
permission.

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