Article summary

Financial Services analysis: The Applicant, Heather Dunne, made two Privacy Applications and one case management application in relation to publication of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Decision Notices. Ms Dunne had provided pension transfer advice as an appointed representative (trading as HDIFA) of Financial Solutions Midhurst Limited (FSML). The FCA found that she and FSML had operated an advice model that put customers' guaranteed pension benefits at risk. The Privacy Applications sought to ensure that her reference did not appear on the Upper Tribunal's register and that there was no publication by the FCA or any other party about the Decision Notices issued to her and the director of FSML. Both applications were rejected by the Tribunal. Written by Lucy Tolond and Ryan Marwood, DWF Law LLP.
