Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

Regulations, transitional provisions, and miscellaneous provisions - Enforcement of overseas pecuniary penalties under application regime

583: Purpose of this subpart

You could also call this:

"Helping people follow investment rules and pay fines when they break the law"

Illustration for Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

The purpose of this part of the law is to help make sure people follow the rules. You can think of it like a system that makes sure people pay fines when they break certain laws. These laws are about securities, which are like special kinds of investments, and they are from countries that New Zealand has chosen to work with. This system is meant to work in New Zealand, so if someone breaks one of these laws in another country, New Zealand can still help make them pay their fine. You can find more information about this by looking at the securities laws from other countries.
