fulfils any condition which allows a person to terminate or otherwise exercise a right or power under any agreement or liability, or

releases any surety or other obligor, wholly or partly, from any liability, whether actual, contingent or prospective.

Without limiting subclause (1), where, apart from this clause, the advice or consent of a person would be necessary in any particular respect in order to give effect to this Regulation, the advice is taken to have been obtained or the consent is taken to have been given, as the case requires.

Nothing in this Regulation exempts St. George from the provisions of any Act or statutory instrument relating to companies carrying on the business of banking.
