PAYMENT SYSTEMS AND NETTING ACT 1998 - SECT 15

Declaration that section 14 does not apply

  (1)   The Reserve Bank may, by notifiable instrument, declare that section   14 does not apply to a close - out netting contract if it is satisfied that systemic disruption in the financial system could result if a party to the contract went into external administration.

Note:   This section is intended to allow the Reserve Bank to require an economically significant multilateral netting arrangement to meet the standards in Part   3 of this Act. It may be necessary to amend the rules governing the arrangement before it can be approved under that Part.

  (2)   A declaration under subsection   (1):

  (a)   may only relate to a contract entered into after the day the declaration is registered on the Federal Register of Legislation under the Legislation Act 2003 ; and

  (b)   ceases to have effect at the end of 6 months after the day it is registered.
