What?

1.3

R

SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with respect to the carrying on of:

(1)

regulated activities;

(2)

activities that constitute dealing in investments as principal, disregarding the exclusion in article 15 of the Regulated Activities Order (Absence of holding out etc); and

(3)

ancillary activities in relation to designated investment business, home finance activity and insurance mediation activity;

except that SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G do not apply as described in SYSC 1 Annex 1.1.4R.

1.4

R

SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G do not apply:

(1)

with respect to the activities described in SYSC 1 Annex 1.1.3R(2) and SYSC 1 Annex 1.1.3R(3); or

(2)

in relation to the following regulated activities:

(a)

general insurance business;

(b)

insurance mediation activity in relation to a general insurance contract or pure protection contract;

(c)

long-term insurance business which is outside the Consolidated Life Directive (unless it is otherwise one of the regulated activities specified in this rule);

(d)

business relating to contracts which are within the Regulated Activities Order only because they fall within paragraph (e) of the definition of "contract of insurance" in article 3 of that Order;

(e)

(i)

arranging, by the Society, of deals in general insurance contracts written at Lloyd's; and

(ii)

managing the underwriting capacity of a Lloyd's syndicate as a managing agent at Lloyd's;

(f)

home finance mediation activity and administering a home finance transaction; and

(g)

1.5

R

SYSC 2 and SYSC 3, except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G, also apply with respect to the communication and approval of financial promotions which:

(1)

if communicated by an unauthorised person without approval would contravene section 21(1) of the Act (Restrictions on financial promotion); and

(2)

may be communicated by a firm without contravening section 238(1) of the Act (Restrictions on promotion of collective investment schemes).

1.6

R

SYSC 2 and SYSC 3, except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G, also:

(1)

apply with respect to the carrying on of unregulated activities in a prudential context; and

(2)

take into account any activity of other members of a group of which the firm is a member.

1.7

G

SYSC 1 Annex 1 .1.6R(2) does not mean that inadequacy of a group member's systems and controls will automatically lead to a firm contravening, for example, SYSC 3.1.1 R. Rather, the potential impact of a group member's activities, including its systems and controls, and any systems and controls that operate on a group basis, will be relevant in determining the appropriateness of the firm's own systems and controls.

Where?

1.8

R

SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with respect to activities carried on from an establishment maintained by the firm (or its appointed representative or, where applicable, its tied agent) in the United Kingdom unless another applicable rule which is relevant to the activity has a wider territorial scope, in which case SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 apply with that wider scope in relation to the activity described in that rule.

1.9

R

SYSC 2 and SYSC 3, except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G, also apply in a prudential context to a UK domestic firm with respect to activities wherever they are carried on.

1.10

R

SYSC 3 , except SYSC 3.2.6A R to SYSC 3.2.6J G, also applies in a prudential context to an overseas firm (other than an incoming EEA firm or an incoming Treaty firm) with respect to activities wherever they are carried on.

1.11

G

(1)

In considering whether to take regulatory action under SYSC 2 or SYSC 3 in relation to activities carried on outside the United Kingdom, the FSA will take into account the standards expected in the market in which the firm is operating.

(2)

Most of the rules in SYSC 3 are linked to other requirements and standards under the regulatory system which have their own territorial limitations so that those SYSC rules are similarly limited in scope.

Actions for damages

1.12

R

A contravention of the rules in SYSC 2 and SYSC 3 does not give rise to a right of action by a private person under section 150 of the Act (and each of those rules is specified under section 150(2) of the Act as a provision giving rise to no such right of action).
