PDCOB Sch 1 Right of action for damages

Sch 1.1G

1The table below sets out the rules in PDCOB the contravention of which by an authorised person may be actionable under section 138D of the Act (Actions for damages) by a person who suffers loss as a result of the contravention.

Sch 1.2G

1If a ‘Yes’ appears in the column headed ‘For private person?’ the rule may be actionable by a private person under section 138D of the Act (or, in certain circumstances, that person’s fiduciary or representative; see article 6(2) and (3)(c) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Rights of Action) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/2256)). A ‘Yes’ in the column headed ‘Removed’ indicates that the FCA has removed the right of action under section 138D(2) of the Act. Where this is the case, a reference to the rule in which it is removed is also given.

Sch 1.3G

1The column headed ‘For other person?’ indicates whether the rule may be actionable by a person other than a private person (or their fiduciary or representative) under article 6(2) and (3) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Rights of Action) Regulations 2001 (SI 2001/2256). Where this is the case, an indication of the type of person by whom the rule may be actionable is given.
