The defendants had maintained that Enduam Asset Management, also known as Enduam Consulting Ltd. ("Enduam"), had obtained or applied for a licence with the DIFC when no such application had been made or approved. The DFSA application to the court, also stated that the defendants falsely represented to members of the investing public that Enduam was physically located in the DIFC.
The defendants consented to the court order, sought by the DFSA, which permanently prohibits them from making any future misrepresentations about the regulatory status of Enduam with the DIFC.
The Deputy Chief Justice of the DIFC Court, Mr. Michael Hwang made the final orders against the defendants. This concludes the DFSA investigation of this matter.
David Knott, DFSA Chief Executive, stated: "The court orders obtained send a strong regulatory message that the DFSA will take appropriate and proportionate action against conduct or misrepresentations that negatively affect the reputation of the DFSA or DIFC, in relation to a company's regulatory status."

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) is an independent, integrated regulatory authority responsible for the regulation of all financial and ancillary services conducted in or from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), including asset management, banking, securities trading, Islamic finance, re-insurance, and an international financial exchange. The DFSA has been created using principle-based primary legislation modelled closely on that used in London and New York, and the DFSA regulatory regime operates to standards that meet or exceed those applying in the world's major financial centres.
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) is a central component of the DIFC, a new financial centre established to position Dubai as a recognised hub for institutional finance, and the regional gateway for capital and investment to the Middle East.
Mr. David Knott was appointed Chief Executive of the DFSA on June 1, 2005. He is a former Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investment Commission and was Chairman of the Technical Committee of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
