Life insurance adviser's warning 'a message'
The adviser, who has not been named, was found to have engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct.
He advised his clients of an alternative life cover plan with a different insurance provider but did not tell them about the policy pricing. He then provided a direct debit form to the clients, which they ignored.
