AND IN THE MATTER OF James Leslie Bennett (the “Licensee”).

 

 

ORDER IMPOSING AN ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY

 

The Licensee is licensed as an insurance agent (licence # 06093727) under the Act.

 

On March 21, 2023, and by delegated authority from the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (the “Chief Executive Officer”), the Senior Manager, Regulatory and Credentialing Oversight (the “Senior Manager) issued a Notice of Proposal to impose an administrative penalty in the amount of $2000 on the Licensee for failure to comply with the Act.

 

The Notice of Proposal was delivered to the Licensee on March 21, 2023. Section 441.3(5) of the Act provides that any person on whom a Notice of Proposal is delivered has fifteen (15) days after the Notice of Proposal is received to request a hearing by the Financial Services Tribunal (the “Tribunal”).

 

The Senior Manager and the Licensee have resolved the matter without a hearing and on consent.
