The effect of COCON TP 1.1R is that an employee described in column (1) of row (6) of the table in that rule is not subject to COCON during the firm’s individual transitional period. If the firm does not have an individual transitional period (see SYSC TP 8.3.2G(3)), COCON TP 1.1R does not apply.

The definition of individual transitional period for the purposes of COCON TP 1.1R takes into account the extension of the period referred to in SYSC TP 8.1.5R made by The Bank of England and Financial Services Act 2016 (Commencement No. 6 and Transitional Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (SI 2020/929)3
