Tallinna Ringkonnakohus jättis Finantsinspektsiooni kaebuse rahuldamata ja nõustus Maakohtu otsusega tühistada Finantsinspektsiooni 08.02.2021.a trahv Admiral Markets AS suhtes

Message

8. veebruaril 2021 edastas Finantsinspektsioon (FSA) Admiral Markets AS-ile
otsuse, mille kohaselt määrati ettevo?ttele trahv. Finantsinspektsioonil so?nul
ei olnud Admiral Markets AS pa?rast toornafta hindade ma?rkimisva?a?rset langust
aprillis 2020 ka?itunud ta?ielikult vastavalt va?a?rtpaberituru seadusele.
Admiral Markets AS ei nõustunud Finantsinspektsiooni otsusega ning kinnitas, et
on alati tegutsenud oma klientide huvides. Ettevõte oli veendunud, et hoolimata
Finantsinspektsiooni otsuses avaldatud hinnangutest toimiti vastavalt
regulatiivsele o?iguslikule raamistikule ebatavaliste asjaolude korral. Sellest
tulenevalt esitas Admiral Markets AS 23.02.2021 kaebuse Harju Maakohtusse otsuse
vaidlustamiseks.

Harju Maakohtu 31.03. 2021 määrusega rahuldati Admiral Markets AS kaebus ning
tühistati Finantsinspektsiooni otsus täies ulatuses. Finantsinspektsioon
otsustas esitada määruskaebuse Tallinna Ringkonnakohtule. 24.05.2021 otsusega
jättis Tallinna Ringkonnakohus Harju Maakohtu 31.03.2021.a määruse muutmata ning
Finantsinspektsiooni esindajate määruskaebuse rahuldamata.

Tallinna Ringkonnakohtu määrus ei ole veel jõustunud.

Title

The Tallinn Circuit Court rejected the appeal of the Financial Supervision Authority and agreed with the order of the Harju County Court to revoke the fine of the Financial Supervision Authority against Admiral Markets AS

Message

On February 8, 2021, Finantsinspektsioon (FSA) forwarded a decision to Admiral
Markets AS notifying the company about an imposed fine. According to the
regulator Admiral Markets AS had not acted entirely in accordance with the
Securities Market Act, following the crash of Future crude oil prices in April
2020. Admiral Markets AS did not agree with the decision of the FSA and
confirmed that it had always acted in the best interests of its clients. The
company was confident that regardless of the opinions in the FSA announcement,
it operated in accordance with the regulatory framework even when faced with
unusual circumstances. Taken all that into consideration, Admiral Markets AS
filed an appeal to Harju County Court on 23.02.2021 to challenge the FSA's
decision.

According to the Harju County Court order from 31.03.2021, the complaint of
Admiral Markets AS was satisfied and the decision of Finantsinspektsioon (FSA)
was annulled in full. The Financial Supervision Authority decided to file an
appeal against the ruling to Tallinn Circuit Court. With an order of
24.05.2021, the Tallinn Circuit Court agreed with the order of Harju County
Court from 31.03.2021 and decided not to change the order of Harju County
Court.

The order of the Tallinn Circuit Court has not yet entered into force.
