Welcome to the Insider Dealing Tribunal's homepage.

Keeping market places fair has been the concern of lawmakers since the days of writing on clay tablets. Today, all sophisticated financial markets consider insider dealing to be a practice which must be prevented and punished. The most convincing argument for controlling insider dealing and punishing insider dealers, is the adverse effect it has on market confidence. Large sophisticated markets such as Hong Kong require confidence and respect to operate effectively. That is not earned when there is a perception that well placed insiders can constantly steal a march on all other market players and thereby distort the market.

This homepage contains readily accessible information about the Insider Dealing Tribunal and its work. It also contains the full text of all of the Insider Dealing Tribunal's published reports to date.



The Hon Mr Justice Saunders
Chairman of the Insider Dealing Tribunal
