Court holds financial intermediary's information duty depends on client's knowledge level and operation type.

Conseil d'État dismisses annulation and suspension requests against FSMA's deregistration of a credit intermediary. The court rejects the claim that a prior judgment prevents deregistration. The court upholds the FSMA's right to enforce regulatory compliance and professional bans. The decision confirms that deregistration is mandatory when an intermediary fails to remedy identified violations within the prescribed deadline. The court emphasizes that the authority cannot be bound by prior judicial findings regarding the nature of professional bans. The ruling affirms the FSMA's discretion in setting reasonable deadlines for regularization. The court orders the applicant to bear all procedural costs and penalties. The decision clarifies that administrative deregistration remains valid despite conflicting judicial interpretations. The court maintains that the FSMA's duty to enforce regulations overrides the applicant's arguments. The judgment reinforces the strict application of professional conduct codes in financial services. The ruling establishes that failure to comply with regulatory orders leads to automatic deregistration. The court concludes that the applicant's attempt to resume activities was insufficient to halt proceedings.
