    Amendments to the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 Statutory Instrument 2022: Response to the consultation

    The changes proposed following the consultation will be enacted in a Statutory Instrument later this year. Changes include allowing AML/CTF supervisors access to the content of the SARs of their supervised population, increased Companies House discrepancy reporting obligations, increased CDD requirements for Trust and Company Service Providers through an extension to the scope of the term ‘business relationship’, and tailoring of the provisions in the Funds Transfer Regulation to the cryptoasset sector.

    Competition and Markets Authority (Respondent) v Flynn Pharma Ltd and another (Appellants) Competition and Markets Authority (Respondent) v Pfizer Inc and another (Appellants) [2022] UKSC 14

    In the Supreme Court’s judgment, there is no generally applicable principle that all public bodies should enjoy a protected costs position when they lose a case. However, the judgment does not cast any doubt on the position of the SRA in relation to costs following the decision in Baxendale-Walker v Law Society [2007] EWCA Civ 233.

    The Opinion contains a reminder that, in the absence of informed consent, (1) the D.C. Rules prohibit disclosure of a client’s protected information in connection with such a request or commitment, and (2) agreeing to make such a disclosure or intentionally requesting such information may constitute a violation of the Rules even if no disclosure ultimately is made.
