A bank manager, Mr. Evans, refers a Jersey-registered company, Blue Ocean Ltd., to a solicitor’s firm, Harper & Sons, for advice on a corporate matter involving a transaction of 10,000 euros. Mr. Evans has known the company's directors, Mr. Brown and Mr. White, for many years, and they each hold equal shares in the company.

Under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007, solicitors must verify the identity of their clients when involved in transactions or ongoing business relationships. However, the regulations provide an exemption for transactions that are one-off and amount to less than 15,000 euros, assuming no suspicion of money laundering arises. In this case, the transaction involves 10,000 euros, which is below the threshold, and thus Harper & Sons is not required to obtain additional client identification documentation for this one-off transaction.
Key Point: This question addresses the thresholds and exemptions under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007. It is crucial for solicitors to understand when client identification is mandatory and when exemptions apply, particularly in the context of the transaction amount and nature.
