The Insider Dealing (Securities and Regulated Markets) Order 2023

This Order supplements Part 5 of the Criminal Justice Act 1993 (c. 36) (“the 1993 Act”), which establishes the offence of insider dealing (“the offence”). The offence applies to anyone who has inside information on securities or issuers of securities as an insider and then does one of three things. The first is to deal in securities whose price would be affected by the public release of the information on either a regulated market or via a professional intermediary. The second is to encourage such dealing. The third is to disclose the information outside the proper performance of their employment, office or profession.
