(2) A court shall not, in pursuance of that section or any other statutory provision or rule of law, recognise or give effect to—

(a)any order of a court exercising jurisdiction in relation to involvency law in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, or

(b)any act of a person appointed in such a country or territory to discharge any functions under insolvency law,

(2) Any failure by a recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house to comply with its own rules in respect of any matter shall not prevent that matter being treated for the purposes of this Part as done in accordance with those rules so long as the failure does not substantially affect the rights of any person entitled to require compliance with the rules.

(3) No recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house, nor any officer or servant or member of the governing body of a recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house, shall be liable in damages for anything done or omitted in the discharge or purported discharge of any functions to which this paragraph applies unless the act or omission is shown to have been in bad faith.

(4) The functions to which paragraph (3) applies are the functions of the exchange or clearing house so far as relating to, or to matters arising out of—

(a)its default rules, or

(b)any obligations to which it is subject by virtue of this Part.

(5) No person[F3 to whom the exercise of any function of a recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house is delegated under its default rules]), nor any officer or servant of such a person, shall be liable in damages for anything done or omitted in the discharge or purported discharge of those functions unless the act or omission is shown to have been in bad faith.

(2) References in this Part to a “defaulter” are to a person inrespect of whom action has been taken by a recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house under its default rules, whether by declaring him to be a defaulter or otherwise; and references in this Part to “default” shall be construed accordingly.

(3) In this Part “default proceedings” means proceedings taken by a recognised investment exchange or recognised clearing house under its default rules.

(4) If an exchange or clearing house takes action under its default rules in respect of a person, all subsequent proceedings under its rules for the purposes of or in connection with the settlement of market contracts to which the defaulter is a party shall be treated as done under its default rules.
