  • Final Notice: Hastings Insurance Services Limited
    Financial Services Authority ___________________________________________________________________________ FINAL NOTICE ___________________________________________________________________________ To: Hastings Insurance Services Limited Address: Conquest House Collington Avenue Bexhill-on-Sea East Sussex TN39 3LW Date: 24 July 2008 TAKE NOTICE: The Financial Services Authority of 25 The North Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London E14 5HS ("the FSA") gives you final notice about a requirement to pay a financial penalty. 1. THE PENALTY 1.1. The FSA gave Hastings Insurance Services Limited ("the Firm"/"Hastings") a Decision Notice on 21 July 2008 which notified Hastings that, pursuant to section 206 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA"), the FSA had decided to impose a financial penalty of £735,000 on Hastings in respect of breaches of Principle 6 of the FSA's Principles for Businesses ("the Principles"). 1.2. The breaches of Principle 6 relate to Hastings' cancellation of approximately 4,550 incorrectly priced customer motor insurance policies between June and September 2007 ("the Relevant Period"). 1.3. Hastings confirmed that it will not be referring the matter to the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal. 1.4. Accordingly, for the reasons set out below and having agreed with Hastings the facts and matters relied on, the FSA imposes a financial penalty of £735,000 on Hastings. 1.5. Hastings agreed to settle this matter at an early stage of the FSA's investigation. It therefore qualified for a 30% (stage 1) reduction in penalty, pursuant to the FSA's executive settlement procedures. Were it not for this discount, the FSA would have sought to impose a financial penalty of £1.05 million on Hastings.
