Published waivers

We may offer a 'general' waiver to firms (referred to as waivers with consent under section 148(2) of the Financial Services & Markets Act (2000)).

We may do this in exceptional circumstances where we consider that a waiver should apply to a number of firms (for example, where an unmodified rule may not meet the circumstances of a particular category of firm). In these cases we will tell the firms concerned that the waiver is available. We will do this either by contacting them individually or by publishing details of the availability of the waiver.
