    • RPP 6-2-3

      The decisions which are made by the DFSA generally fall into two main categories:

      (a) the first category is those decisions made by the DFSA in response to an application or notification made by a Person to the DFSA to obtain a right, status or other privilege which the Person would not have, unless the DFSA grants such a right, status or other privilege. These decisions mainly involve "entry control" or "gatekeeper" type decisions. An example of such a decision is when the DFSA considers an application for a Licence or extension to an existing Licence. Such decisions are referred to as "Executive Decisions" in this chapter; and
      (b) the second category is those decisions which result from action initiated by the DFSA and which can have a significant adverse impact on the existing rights, interests and legitimate expectations of Persons. An example of such a decision is when the DFSA seeks to withdraw an Authorised Person's Licence. Such decisions are referred to as "Decision Maker Decisions" in this chapter.
