Functions of the Stockbroker
1- The selling stockbroker will use his best endeavours to sell the listed securities on the first trading day, following the receipt of instructions from his client.
2- The selling stockbroker shall be responsible for ensuring that his client is the registered holder of the security. He must ascertain that there is enough available holdings to be sold, and that there is no charge registered against these holdings in the "Central Securities Depository", or the "Register of Shares". If it transpires that the holdings are not sufficient to meet the order, or that there is a charge against the holdings, the order will be rejected by BATS.
3- The buying stockbroker shall use his best endeavours to buy the listed securities on the first trading day following the receipt of instructions from his clients.
4- Both the selling and buying stockbrokers shall be responsible for supplying the Exchange with sufficient details of their clients, to enable the Exchange to produce the "Client Contract Notes" on behalf of the stock broking firms. This information must be supplied before the trade execution. In the event that sufficient details of the client are not available at the Exchange, the order will not be validated by BATS.
