Investor Protection Fund interim relief updated, exchanges to release phased payments and permit arbitration venue shifts. Amendments allow arbitration venue shifts to a metro at a party's request with costs borne by the requester; require exchanges to refund deposits to parties favoured by awards when claims are filed beyond prescribed timelines and to transfer additional late-filing fees from trading members to the IPF; mandate defaulter-member claims be sanctioned by the Member Core Settlement Guarantee Fund Committee and sent to the IPF Trust for disbursement; and prescribe staged interim relief releases from the IPF with an annual cap, while preserving investors' right to seek external fora for balance claims.
