SM00188 - All must admitted to all the allegations for a settlement to be accepted
On 20/11/2014 10:49 AM, TERESA MITCHELL-BANKS WROTE:
Mr. Harris,
The matter is under review. There cannot be any settlement until all the Respondents, individuals and corporate, have admitted all the allegations. Are you all prepared to do so? If the allegations are agreed to then we can propose a settlement on sanction. Any settlement would have to include financial penalties.

Mr. Harris,
You have indicated that:
1. You will not be attending your hearing
2. You wish to be held in contempt rather than pay fines
3. You do not wish to settle.
1. Hearing Attendance
It is up to you whether you attend your hearing as you have not been summonsed to do so. Your hearing will occur whether you attend or not and we will be seeking financial penalties and orders against you banning you from the markets and being a Diirector.
2.Being held in contempt
As you are under no legal requirement to attend your hearing, you will not be held in contempt. You cannot avoid financial penalties and orders against you by demanding to be sent to jail for contempt.
3. Settlement
We confirm you do not wish to settle. If you change your mind, please understand that the preconditions to settlement negotiations concerning the amount of financial penalty and length of the orders against you include that you admit that every paragraph in the NOH is true and that there will be significant financial penalties and length orders issued against you.
More to come..
