    • RPP 6-3-1

      Subject to the considerations of procedural fairness, the decision making procedures of the DFSA will generally take into account matters including:

      (a) the requirements set out in the relevant Law and Rules;
      (b) the nature of the decision, including its complexity, importance and urgency; and
      (c) the extent and manner in which the rights, interests and legitimate expectations of Persons may be affected by the decision.

    • RPP 6-3-3

      Generally, decisions of the DFSA which affect the rights of a Person are appealable to the DFSA's Regulatory Appeals Committee. The Regulatory Appeals Committee is a committee of the DFSA Board which will conduct a full merits review of certain decisions made by the DFSA. In doing so, it looks at the facts afresh, and can make a new decision ensuring procedural fairness, objectivity and transparency in arriving at its decision. A decision of the Regulatory Appeals Committee may be reviewed by the DIFC Court by way of judicial review on a point of law. For more information on the Regulatory Appeals Committee, including its rules and procedures, please see the DFSA's website (www.dfsa.ae).

    • RPP 6-3-4

      Based on the above considerations, the DFSA has prepared a list containing the most common types of decisions it may take and the types of procedures followed in making such decisions (see Appendix 1 to this chapter). This list also sets out whether a Person has a right of appeal to the Regulatory Appeals Committee in respect of a particular decision. However, it is not an exhaustive list.
