Line links
30 Line links
A line constitutes a line link.
If:
a line is connected to another line; and
the other line constitutes, or forms part of, a line link;
the first‑mentioned line, and the line link referred to in paragraph (b), together constitute a line link.
Subsection (2) is recursive, that is, the reference in paragraph (2)(b) to a line link is a reference to something that is a line link because of any other application or applications of this section.
For the purposes of subsection (2), a line is connected to another line if, and only if:
the lines are connected to each other; or
each of the lines is connected to the same facility (other than a line);
in such a way that a communication can be carried, by means of the 2 lines, or by means of facilities including the 2 lines, in the same way as if the 2 lines were a single line.
A line does not form part of any line link to the extent that the line is on the customer side of the boundary of a telecommunications network.
Boundary of a telecommunications network is defined by section 22.
A facility other than a line does not form part of any line link.
