The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has fined Barclays Capital Securities Ltd (Barclays Capital) £1.12 million for failing to protect and segregate on an intra-day basis client money held in sterling money market deposits. Under the FSA's client money rules, firms are required to keep client money separate from the firm's money in segregated accounts with trust status. This helps to safeguard and ring-fence the client money in the event of the firm's insolvency.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has fined JJB Sports Plc (JJB) £455,000 for failing to disclose information to the market about the true cost of two acquisitions. This led to a false market in JJB shares for over nine months. JJB made a number of market announcements in that time which did not correct the position. On 18 December 2007, JJB announced that it had purchased the retail chain Original Shoe Company (OSC) for £5 million in cash. JJB failed to disclose that, in addition to the cash price, it had to pay for the in-store stock. The cost of the in-store stock was £10.038 million.

The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has today published a discussion paper to open a public debate about how the FSA, and in future the proposed Consumer Protection and Markets Authority (CPMA), should pursue the objective of consumer protection and specifically the issue of product intervention. As part of its new consumer protection strategy introduced last year, the FSA has already introduced a more interventionist approach with the aim of anticipating consumer detriment where possible and stopping it before it occurs. The approach aims to reduce consumer detriment by dealing with problems earlier, scrutinising the whole of the product lifecycle from start to finish rather than just focusing on the point-of-sale.
