The
DFSA will allow a reasonable period for compliance with the requirement to give information. The reasonableness of the requirement will depend upon the circumstances of each case. TheDFSA may, in some circumstances, require the giving of information straightaway where the giving of prior notice may prejudice the investigation.Added by Notice of Updates (Made 23rd November 2014).
