La FSA, l'Autorité des marchés de la Grande-Bretagne, a publié un communiqué de presse dans lequel elle annonce l'annulation l'agrément de M. Anthony Verrier.
Introduction :
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has published a decision notice indicating that it has decided to prohibit Anthony Verrier (a senior executive at BGC) from performing any function in relation to any regulated activity in the financial services industry. The FSA believes that Verrier is not a fit and proper person due to concerns over his honesty, integrity and reputation.
Verrier has referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (the Tribunal) where he and the FSA will each present their case. The Tribunal will then determine the appropriate action for the FSA to take. The Tribunal may uphold, vary or cancel the FSA’s decision. The Tribunal’s decision will be made public on its website.
The FSA based its decision on the High Court’s findings in Tullett Prebon plc (and two others) v BGC Brokers LP (and 13 others, including Verrier), [2010] EWHC 484 (QB). As the Court of Appeal summarised in Tullett Prebon plc & Ord v BGC Brokers LP & Ors, [2011] EWCA Civ 131: “Mr Verrier was found [by the High Court] to have participated in an unlawful means conspiracy, the unlawful means including the inducement of the broker defendants to breach their contracts of employment with Tullett by leaving early without lawful justification.”
