UK: the Financial Services Act 2010

The Financial Services Bill received Royal Assent yesterday and becomes known as the Financial Services Act 2010. Missing from the Act - following the wash-up negotiations - are provisions that would have created a Financial Stability Council, imposed a statutory obligation on the Financial Services Authority to promote international regulation and supervision, and introduced a mechanism for collective action in financial services claim. In due course a copy of the Act will be available here.

Update: a copy of the Act is available here (pdf).
