MDP Outcomes Register

This register contains details of the outcomes of decisions of the MDP in relation to alleged breaches of the market integrity rules.

Details of matters where the MDP has decided that an infringement notice should be given will be published on the register. Such entries will usually be accompanied by a media release.

Where the MDP makes no adverse findings in relation to a matter, the register will include a summary of that finding, usually without disclosing the name of the market participant.
