Rights of action for damages

01/12/2004

CIS Sch 5.1

The table below sets out the rules in CIS contravention of which by an authorised person may be actionable under section 150 of the Act (Actions for damages) by a person who suffers loss as a result of the contravention.

01/12/2004

CIS Sch 5.2

If a "Yes" appears in the column headed "For private person?", the rule may be actionable by a "private person" under section 150 unless a "Yes" appears in the column headed "Removed?". A "Yes" in the column headed "Removed?" indicates that the FSA has removed the right of action under section 150(2) of the Act. If so, a reference to the rule in which it is removed is also given.

01/12/2004

CIS Sch 5.3

In accordance with The Financial Services and MarketsAct 2000 (Rights of Action) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/2256), a "private person" is:

(1)

any individual, except when acting in the course of carrying on a regulated activity; and

(2)

any person who is not an individual, except when acting in the course of carrying on business of any kind;

but does not include a government, a local authority or an international organisation.

01/12/2004

Rules that can be waived

01/12/2004

CIS Sch 6.1

The FSA may waive any rule in CIS in relation to AUTs under section 250 of the Act (Modification or waiver of rules), except CIS 2.3.3 R and CIS 16.5.1 R.

The FSA may waive any rule in CIS in relation to ICVCs under section 250 of the Act (Modification or waiver of rules), except CIS 2.3.3 R.

Although the FSA has the formal power of waiver under the Act in relation to these rules, much of CIS is designed to ensure that relevant authorised funds comply with the conditions in the UCITS Directive. Accordingly, it is most unlikely that in practice UCITS Directive derived rules in CIS would be waived.

No rules in CIS 18 can be waived by FSA.
