ASIC has today extended relief for certain foreign financial services providers (FFSPs) in sufficiently equivalent regulatory regimes from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence (AFSL) when providing financial services to wholesale clients.
Relief has been extended on the same terms until 30 September 2019. The extension applies to the ‘limited connection’ relief together with the relief available under:
The extension follows ASIC’s release of a consultation paper in May 2018 (CP 301), which proposed a modified licensing regime and comprehensive review of the relief currently available to FFSPs who provide financial services in Australia. The consultation paper foreshadowed an extension of the relief to 30 September 2019. We expect ASIC to engage with industry on the responses received to CP 301 in the coming months.
The key proposals put forward by ASIC within CP 301 to modify the licensing and relief regime for FFSPs were as follows:

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
