Regulation 10D Restrictions on partial property transfers - set-off and netting arrangements

(1) A partial property transfer may not provide for the transfer of some, but not all, of the protected rights and liabilities between a client or other person ("C") and the investment bank.

(2) Rights and liabilities between C and the investment bank are protected if -

(a) they are rights and liabilities which C or the investment bank is entitled to set off or net under a particular set-off arrangement, netting arrangement or title transfer financial collateral arrangement which C has entered into with the investment bank; and

(b) they are not excluded rights or excluded liabilities.

(3) For the purpose of paragraph (1), a partial property transfer which purports to transfer all of the protected rights and liabilities between C and the investment bank is to be treated as having done so effectively (and not in contravention of paragraph (1)) notwithstanding the possibility that any of the protected rights or liabilities are foreign property and might not have been effectively transferred by the arrangement.

(4) For the purposes of paragraph (2), it is immaterial whether or not -

(a) the arrangement which permits C or the investment bank to set off or net rights and liabilities also permits C or the investment bank to set off or net rights and liabilities with another person; or

(b) the right of C or the investment bank to set off or net is exercisable only on the occurrence of a particular event.
