§ 18367 Investment Certificate Sales Halt

Key Takeaways

  • •The boss (commissioner) can stop a company from selling investment certificates if they think it's unfair to buyers.
  • •The company can ask for a meeting (hearing) within 15 days to explain their side.
  • •The boss's decision can be checked by a judge if the company doesn't agree.

Example

A company sells certificates promising big returns, but the boss finds out the company is lying about how safe the investment is.

The boss can tell the company to stop selling those certificates right away. The company can ask for a meeting to argue why they should keep selling, but they have to do it fast (within 15 days). If the boss still says no, the company can take the issue to court.

§ 18367 Investment Certificate Sales Halt

(a) If at any time the commissioner is of the opinion that the further sale of investment certificates by an industrial loan company would be unfair, unjust or inequitable to the purchasers of its investment certificates, the commissioner may, notwithstanding any other provision of this division, order the company to desist and refrain from the further sale of its investment certificates. (b) The company named in any order issued pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section may, within 15 days after receipt thereof, file with the commissioner its written request for hearing. The filing of such request shall not operate to postpone or suspend the effectiveness of any order issued by the commissioner unless otherwise directed by the commissioner. The commissioner shall, within 15 days after the receipt of such written request or at such later time as may be mutually agreed with the company, cause such matter to be heard and shall thereafter issue his final decision. Such decision may be amended or set aside by the commissioner at any time. (c) Every order or decision of the commissioner made pursuant to this section is subject to judicial review in accordance with law. (Added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 964.)
