REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice issued to MGL and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that
MGL is failing to satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is
not satisfied that MGL is a fit and proper person having regard to all the
circumstances, including whether MGL 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 MGL has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to submit
the Returns. MGL has not been open and co-operative in all MGL’s dealings with
the Authority, in that it has failed to respond adequately to the Authority's repeated
requests for it to submit the Returns, and has thereby failed to comply with Principle
11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and to satisfy the Authority that it is
ready, willing and organised to comply with the requirements and standards of the
regulatory system.

8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of MGL’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that MGL 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 MGL has had a
permission.
