Sort of right Andy. The company’s lawyer needs to offer an opinion and the board will decide in the light of that opinion. Yes, it should have been reported to the FCA who will want to see the lawyers opinion before taking this further. However, all directors of quoted companies sign a document stating that they understand the insider rules, which cover them and their immediate family, and will abide by them. They are also bound by the company’s corporate governance code, which will state that all requests for directors dealing have to be pre cleared by a board member, normally the ceo or chairman. From what we seem to be being told that did not happen, which could make matters worse as the director in question may have been in possession of price sensitive information which would have precluded him from dealing in any event.
