Refusal to approve acquiring transactions. |
44.—(1) A supervisory authority shall refuse to approve an acquiring transaction where it is not satisfied as to the suitability of the person proposing to make the acquiring transaction or where the supervisory authority considers that the acquiring transaction is likely to be prejudicial to the sound and prudent management of an authorised investment business firm or the proper and orderly regulation and supervision of an authorised investment business firm or both. | |
