I agree that there are no grounds for AS to be removed from BAJR's list. BAJR (at least thyis part of BAJR) is not a quality control organisation nor is it a professional governing body, it is merely a list for the convenience of potential users, and thus of course for the potential benefit of advertisers (listees??). BAJR has not been party to the disciplinary preoceedings and would not therefore be justified in denying its services to AS. Naturally the listing as a RAO should be amended.
It is interesting that removal of their RAO status is considered to have possible serious financial implications for the firm, and will lose them goodwill and affect their insurance premiums. General consensus here before semed to be that the IFA was irrelevant and pointless, and membership (individually or as an organisation) was of no advantage. It seemed that clients would select the cheapest and fastest unit with no regard for the quality of their work.
Now it appears that AS are likely to struggle to obtain work due to their loss of status......
