DEFINITIONS

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

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

“the Authority” means the Financial Conduct Authority;

“the Decision Notice” means the Decision Notice issued to NPAL dated 1 March
2017;

“NPAL” means New Peterborough Auto Limited;

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

“the Return” means the CCR007 return for the period ended 31 March 2016,
which NPAL was due to submit to the Authority by 13 May 2016;

“the suitability Threshold Condition” means the Threshold Condition set out in

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