FINRA Discipline: FINRA Rule 9264
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
This is the nineteenth in a series of posts to discuss the rules associated with the FINRA disciplinary process. FINRA Rule 9264 states that a respondent or FINRA has opportunity to file a motion for summary disposition after the respondent files his or her answer and all of the documents have been submitted. Parties are required to file a motion for summary disposition at least 21 days before the hearing and any opposition to that motion must be filed at least 7 days before the hearing.
A respondent or FINRA also has the right to file a motion for summary disposition for any or all causes of action in the complaint after the hearing has commenced. A motion for summary disposition should not exceed 35 pages and should include a statement of undisputed facts; a supporting memorandum of points and authorities; and affidavits or declarations that set forth such facts.
A hearing officer may promptly deny or defer decisions on any motion for summary disposition, however, only a hearing panel can grant a motion for summary disposition.
