That sentence, in plain words

The watchdog can order a firm to stop. It can also order the firm to put things right. The order can bind the firm or one of its people.

What this is about

The watchdog needs fair cause to believe a rule was broken. A try counts as well as a breach. So does breaking a written deal.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
