Dear Ray,
I have sent you a copy of my complaint to
the FSA. Has that answered your question? If anyone else wants to see it,
please contact me.
I personally did not make any previous complaint
to the FSA i.e. that is no complaint was made by me before the request for
information under the Freedom of Information Act in March 2005. But, other
shareholders may well have – I simply do not know. Even if no previous
complaints were made, I do not think that this should deter us or, indeed, give
the FSA any excuse for what has happened. They must have been privy to all the
documents at the time of the waiver and sale of the core assets without
shareholder approval, i.e. the events that enabled SmartLogik to avoid
publishing final year accounts by just one day.
If you read my complaint, you will see
that I firstly focus on the refusal of the UK Listing Authority (an FSA body)
to provide information under the FOI Act. This happened earlier this year. Then
I link it back to our main complaints regarding SmartLogik and the failure of
the FSA / UK Listing Authority to properly regulate these events. Anyhow, the
request for information under FOI was all related to the events surrounding the
waiver in 2002, so all the complaints are intricately linked.
I have had a response from the FSA again
telling me that they will not provide any information under FOI, because of the
confidentiality agreement between them and the other parties, i.e. Ernst &
Young, BDO Stoy Hayward, Hoare Govett, etc. The other complaints relating to
the principal events surrounding the waiver in 2002 have been sent to another
FSA department and we now await the response from that department.
I hope this helps to clarify.
Best regards,
Justin Jones

Hi
Justin,
RE: FSA (reference SLK ACTION CAMPAIGN 2005)
The FSA complaint form relates only to
issues that involve the FSA.
It would be helpful if you (or others)
could post a proforma of previous complaints that have been made to the
FSA.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers Ray Pinnegar
