Laidlaw & Company (UK) LTD. (CRD #119037, London, England)
was censured, fined $10,000 and required to pay $27,787.07, plus interest, in restitution to clients for allegedly charging commissions plus a “handling fee” on certain transactions (which took place from approximately April 2013 to June 2014) in equity securities that were not fair and reasonable, taking into consideration the factors set forth in NASD Interpretative Material-2440-1(b) and Supplementary Material .01(b), and that exceeded 5 percent.
