(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into force on 1 July 1988 those provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 which effect the repeal of the Restrictive Trade Practices (Stock Exchange) Act 1984.
It also amends the Financial Services Act 1986 (Commencement No. 8) Order 1988 so as to postpone the coming into force of the restriction on promotion of certain collective investment schemes, namely those included in the Official List or promoted by a compliant prospectus, from 1 July to 1 December.
It also brings into force on 1 July the provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 which disapply sections 75 to 77 of the Insurance Companies Act 1982 (right to withdraw from long term policies) in respect of contracts which constitute an investment.
(This note is not part of the Order)
It is impracticable to follow the normal practice of setting out a table of commencement orders made before the date of this Order since to do so would result in unacceptable delay in preparation and printing. Such a table was appended to the Financial Services Act 1986 (Commencement) (No. 8) Order 1988 and the current position can be ascertained from that table, the body of the Order and this Order.
