Sovereign cleared on AMF penalties

In November, 2008 the Sovereign was fined a total of $560,000 after being found guilty in the Court of Quebec. The fines were brought against the Sovereign by the regulator, the Autorite des marches financiers (AMF) for allegedly being in violation of legislation respecting the distribution of financial products and services.

We appealed the decision and recently, this October 6, 2009 the Superior Court in Quebec ruled in our favour, clearing us of any wrongdoing.
