AND IN THE MATTER OF John Willoughby (“Willoughby”).

ORDER TO REFUSE TO RENEW LICENCE

Willoughby is licensed as a life insurance and accident and sickness agent (licence #94016479) under the Act.

On February 12, 2018, the Superintendent of Financial Services (“Superintendent”) of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (“FSCO”) issued a Notice of Proposal to revoke the insurance agent licence issued to Willoughby.

A Request for Hearing (Form 1), dated March 12, 2018 was delivered to the Financial Services Tribunal (the “Tribunal”) in accordance with section 407.1(3) of the Act respecting the Notice of Proposal.

On June 8, 2019, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario assumed the regulatory duties of the FSCO, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (the “Chief Executive Officer”) assumed the regulatory duties of the Superintendent, under the Act.
