  2. (2)

    any special requirement (see UKLR 3.1.4R) is complied with.

UKLR 3.1.3G

1Under the Act, the FCA may also refuse an application for admission if it considers that:

    admission of the securities would be detrimental to investors’ interests; or

  2. (2)

    for securities already listed in a third country, the issuer has failed to comply with any obligations under that listing.

Special requirements
