Stop Orders

What this video covers

• The two-part formula every stop order requires: public interest plus at least one statutory ground, and why public interest alone is never enough
• The three forms a stop order can take: denial of effectiveness, suspension, and revocation
• The statutory grounds most likely to appear on your exam, including fraud, illegal business activities where performed, and the unpaid filing fee trap
• The 30-day limit on acting against an effective registration based on facts known at the time of effectiveness, and why newly discovered facts are exempt
• The one-year limit on using another state's stop order or injunction as a statutory ground
• Summary suspension: what permits the Administrator to act immediately without a prior hearing, and the 15-day deadline to schedule a hearing after a request
• Why a stop order is an administrative tool to protect investors, not a criminal penalty or punishment, and the three-step due-process checklist for a final order
