EXPLANATORY NOTE
Section 1A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 renames the “Financial Services Authority” the “Financial Conduct Authority” with effect from 1 April 2013. This Order therefore revokes the Enterprise Act 2002 (Part 8) (Designation of the Financial Services Authority as a Designated Enforcer) Order 2004 and designates the Financial Conduct Authority as a designated enforcer under Part 8 of the Enterprise Act 2002. As a result, the Financial Conduct Authority will be able to obtain enforcement orders under Part 8, to protect the collective interests of consumers.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
