This Order amends the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Exemption) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/1201) (“the Principal Order”).

The Principal Order exempts certain persons from the general prohibition set out in section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c.8), which provides that no person may carry on a regulated activity within the UK unless that person is either authorised or exempt.
