The RDC will take the decision to give the notice exercising the FCA's18 own-initiative power if the action involves:

(a) removing a type of activity from an authorisation or registration; or

(b) refusing an application to include a type of activity in an authorisation or registration; or

(c) restricting a person from taking on new business, dealing with a particular category of customer or refusing an application to vary or cancel such a restriction; or

(d) imposing or varying a capital requirement, or refusing an application to vary or cancel such a requirement.
