Frozen Money and Breach of Mandate: the MLRO Fights Back

The case law on SARs and disgruntled customers tells a sorry story of rightly suspicious banks and MLROs constrained by tipping off provisions from telling the customer why he cannot access his money. Threats and civil claims by customers can follow. And if they do sue, they can end up being excluded from court in procedures which one judge described earlier this year as Kafkaesque. This session examines these issues through the process of the trial of a bank sued by its customer for failing to act on his instructions.

Senior Managers & Certification Regime

In 2019 the Senior Managers & Certification Regime will be rolled out to all FCA regulated firms and their staff – some 47,000 firms. It will change how people working in the financial services sector are regulated by making individuals at all levels of a firm accountable for their personal conduct and competence. Chris Webber, a partner in Squire Patton Boggs’ financial services regulatory practice, will outline the key features of the new regime and focus on the aspects that are likely to be challenging for firms and their staff to implement. He will also look forward to what SMCR will mean for firms and individuals once it is in force in 2020 and beyond
