Dover Financial Advisers to pay $1.2 million penalty and its sole director to pay $240,000 penalty for false or misleading conduct
The Federal Court has ordered that Dover Financial Advisers Pty Ltd (Dover) pay a $1.2 million penalty for engaging in false or misleading conduct, and that Terrence (Terry) McMaster, Dover’s sole director, pay a $240,000 penalty for being knowingly concerned in Dover’s conduct.
These penalties follow the Federal Court’s 22 November 2019 judgment, which found that Dover engaged in false, misleading or deceptive conduct when it provided a Client Protection Policy to 19,402 clients between around 25 September 2015 and 30 March 2018, and that Mr McMaster was knowingly concerned in Dover’s contraventions (19-321MR).
