Arranging deals in home finance transactions

Background to the regulation of home finance transactionsThe regulation of home finance transactions came about at different points in time. On 31 October 2004 (a date known as M Day), lenders and intermediaries of regulated mortgage contracts (RMCs) became regulated. The Regulation of Financial Services (Land Transactions) Act 2005 enabled the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and its predecessor, the Financial Services authority, to regulate activities similar to those that were already regulated in relation to RMCs but which instead involve the provider acquiring land rather than simply providing finance for its purchase by the homeowner. An amendment order in 2006 (SI 2006/2383, which came into effect on 6 April 2007) brought within the remit of regulation home reversion plans (HRPs) as well as home purchase plans (HPPs). HRPs are schemes where a provider buys an interest in a homeowner's property and allows the homeowner to continue to reside in the property. HPPs include certain types of Islamic financing arrangements, such as Ijara or diminishing Musharaka. A further amendment order in...

Would privately (ie not via a public platform) facilitating an opportunity to individuals to lend to a corporate be caught under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) as a regulated activity requiring authorisation? Is it the case that since the borrower is a corporate entity, the credit broking restrictions will not be relevant since there is no consumer contract? It also does not seem like a private arrangement like this would fall under operating an electronic system in relation to lending. What are your thoughts as to whether it may be a regulated activity, whether under the above or other provisions of FSMA 2000?

ADGM Court clarifies jurisdiction to grant worldwide freezing orders (A17 v B17, C17 and others)

Arbitration analysis: In a judgment closely following the position adopted by the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Court of Appeal in Carmon, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Court of First Instance (the ADGMCFI) has ruled that it has the jurisdiction to grant a Worldwide Freezing Order (WFO), not only within the context of court litigation but also in support of actions for the enforcement of foreign arbitral awards under the 2015 ADGM Arbitration Regulations as amended. More specifically, the ADGMCFI confirmed that the ADGMCFI’s jurisdiction was not restricted by personal jurisdiction over the defendants, nor by service of proceedings upon them. It also confirmed its ability to issue a WFO against a person against whom the applicant had no claim, judgment, or prospective judgment (the so-called Chabra jurisdiction). Written by Dr Gordon Blanke, founding principal at Blanke Arbitration, Farhan Shafi, associate at Blanke Arbitration, and Sajid Suleman, barrister at No5 Chambers.
