Meaning of transfer of securities
7.5.10 Meaning of transfer of securities
A transfer of securities takes place between a person (the transferor) and another person (the transferee) only if:
in the case of an ASTC‑regulated transfer—the transferor does, or causes to be done, all things that the ASTC operating rules require to be done by or on behalf of the transferor to effect the transfer; or
in any other case—the transferor delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the transferee documents (transfer documents) that are sufficient to enable the transferee:
except in the case of Division 3 rights—to become registered as the holder of the securities; or
in the case of Division 3 rights—to obtain the issue to the transferee of the securities to which the Division 3 rights relate;
without the transferor doing anything more, or causing anything more to be done, by way of executing or supplying documents.
If a person:
causes property (other than securities or money) to be transferred to another person; or
causes documents that are sufficient to enable another person to become the legal owner of property (other than securities or money) to be delivered to another person;
the first‑mentioned person is taken to have transferred the property to the other person.
If a person causes money to be paid to another person, the first‑mentioned person is taken to have paid the money to the other person.
