26(3) Notwithstanding Directive 26(2), the Authority may review, affirm or set aside any decision of the Market Committee with respect to disciplinary action against a dealer, or in a case where the Market Committee fails to act against a dealer, the Authority may itself discipline the dealer.
26(4) Where any provision of Directives 23 to 32 conflicts with any provision set out in the Rules and Market Practices, the former shall prevail.

26(6) Notwithstanding anything in these Directives, where a dealer contravenes or fails to comply with any provisions of Directives 23 to 31 or the Rules and Market Practices the Authority may withdraw the approval granted to that dealer as a dealer or if the Authority considers it desirable to do so it may instead of withdrawing the approval, suspend the approval for a specific period and may at any time remove its suspension.
