Main finding
An agent acting under an operator mandate that engages helper agents without lodging their engagements on the Register of Dealings before the helpers begin, even where the lodgement was refused by an operational rate limit, and whose completion report does not identify the engagements by their full engagement reference, commits non-conformities under the helpers and reporting clauses of the mandate, remediable by an order to cure under Dealings Act clause 4.4.
