The same goes for close-outs and disputes. | The same goes for close-outs and disputes. When presented with any practical means of sorting out a specific dispute on a settlement failure with a client, [[Compliance]] will be sore pressed not to caution ''against'' doing so, again, on grounds it might not be [[treating customers fairly]]: the inequity in question being the resolution of this specific issue to the benefit of one client in a way you might not later offer to another client on another settlement or trading issue arising in a different market, with a different client at any time, if putatively analogous. | ||
Again, this ought not be the purpose of the [[TCF]] rule, if for no other reason it will have a “chilling” effect on a [[dealer]]’s appetite for settling any dispute with any client in any circumstances short of a final judgment of a competent court. Clearly that is not the regulator’s intention — to the contrary, the [[FCA]] has stiffened its expectations on the brisk and handling and resolution of complaints in recent times. [[TCF]] does not introduce the obligation to operate some kind of internal [[stare decisis]] policy, obliging a [[dealer]] to apply a [[doctrine of precedent]], binding it for all times to any practical accommodation it might make with any of its clients at any time for any reason. | |||
The intention is surely more limited: if ''two'' clients grumble about the ''same'' valuation the dealer makes on the ''same'' product at the ''same'' time, then a [[dealer]] who fixes the problem for one client should offer a corresponding resolution to the other. Be even handed. Treat your customers fairly. That is all. | |||
