Where article 31(2) of the Mortgage Credit Directive Order 2015 applies, a relevant firm:18

(1) must comply with all the provisions of MCOB that will apply to that firm in respect of the agreement from 21 March 2016;

(2) except as provided in (3), need not comply with the provisions of CONC or MCOB18 that would otherwise apply in respect of the agreement.

(3) must, if the firm has interim permission, continue to comply with the other provisions of the FCA Handbook as modified by CONC 12.18

In this rule, a “relevant firm” means a second charge lender and a firm carrying on a regulated activity of a kind specified in article 36A(1)(a) to (c) of the Regulated Activities Order (disregarding the effect of paragraph (2) of that article).18

MCOB TP 42

G

Article 31 of the Mortgage Credit Directive Order 2015 applies to agreements which, if entered into before 21 March 2016, would be a regulated credit agreement but which, if entered after 20 March 2016, would be a regulated mortgage contract, where neither the lender nor any credit broker has complied with CCA requirements in respect of the agreement and both the lender and any credit broker comply with MCOB (as it will apply from 21 March 2016). The effect of article 31(2) is that the agreement is treated as a regulated mortgage contract rather than as a regulated credit agreement. MCOB TP 42 allows a second charge lender and a credit broker to comply, before 21 March 2016, with MCOB as it will apply from that date without at the same time needing to comply with CONC or with pre-21 March 2016 provisions of MCOB.18

1653

(i) the rules and other provisions in CONC will cease to apply to the firm with respect to the conduct governed by MCOB 14, except for CONC 1.2.8R, the rules applied by CONC 1.2.8R, and any related provisions (for example, CONC 1.2.10R); and

(ii) the firm must comply with MCOB 14 with respect to its lending under MCD article 3(1)(b) credit agreements or, as the case may be, its MCD article (3)(1)(b) credit intermediation activity.

G

21 March 2016

(2)

A firm should generally make one election under MCOB TP 1.53 for all of its MCD article (3)(1)(b) credit intermediation activity, or all of its lending under MCD article 3(1)(b) credit agreements, at any given time.

(3)

Where a firm wishes to make different elections for different types of MCD article (3)(1)(b) credit intermediation activity or lending under MCD article 3(1)(b) credit agreements, it should maintain processes to ensure that the rules applicable to each type of activity and each agreement or customer are clearly identifiable to its staff and, on request, to customers and the FCA. Its processes should also ensure that each agreement or customer is dealt with in compliance with the rules applicable to it or them.

1655

MCOB TP 1.20 to TP 1.53

R

If a firm elects under MCOB TP 1.20 to TP 1.53 to comply with provisions of the FCA Handbook which, but for this section, would not be in force before 21 March 2016, those provisions, and any other provisions in the Handbook which they apply or on which they depend, are to apply in respect of the firm from the date of the election but in the form in which they will appear in the Handbook on 21 March 2016.
