Upper Tribunal Dismisses Challenge to Prohibition in Case of Arif Hussein

In a Decision Notice dated 22 January 2016, the FCA's Regulatory Decisions Committee (RDC) determined that, whilst not dishonest, Arif Hussein, formerly a derivatives trader at UBS, lacked integrity because he "closed his mind" (i.e. was reckless) to the possibility that colleagues with LIBOR submission responsibilities would follow his stated preferences when making their submissions.
