Dear Sir:
Re:
Jory Capital Inc . / Patrick Cooney / UROC
Our Matter No . 0099126 AJS
We act for Jory Capital Inc. ("Jory") and Patrick Cooney .
Mr.
Cooney
(collectively
the
"Appellants")
Commission from the decision of the llROC Hearing Panel dated January 28, 2011 and rendered
January 31, 2011 (following a hearing held on January 18,2011) in respect of the sanctions to be
imposed on Jory and Mr. Cooney (the "Sanctions"). The Sanctions arise from findings of liability
made against them as a result of a hearing conducted in late 2010.
Grounds of Appeal
The following are the grounds of appeal:
1.
The Sanctions are excessive;
2 .
The Sanctions are inconsistent with IIROC's own Dealer Member Disciplinary Sanction
Guidelines ;
3.
The Sanctions would have the effect of preventing Jory from carry ing on its business and
would almost certainly result in Jory ceasing to exist, a result which would be contrary to
the public interest; and
