This section applies where the Bank of England is notified of third-country resolution action in respect of a third-country institution or third-country parent undertaking.
The Bank must make an instrument which—
recognises the action, or
refuses to recognise the action, or
recognises part of the action and refuses to recognise the remainder.
An instrument within paragraph (a), (b) or (c) is a “third-country instrument” (as is an instrument under section 89I(4)(b)).
The Bank may only make a decision under subsection (2) with the approval of the Treasury.
Recognition of the action (or a part of it) may be refused only if the Bank and the Treasury are satisfied that one or more of the following conditions are satisfied—
recognition would have an adverse effect on financial stability in the United Kingdom
the taking of action in relation to a branch located in the United Kingdom of a third-country institution is necessary to achieve one or more of the special resolution objectives;
under the third-country resolution action creditors (including in particular depositors) located or payable in
recognition of, and taking action in support of, the third-country resolution action (or the part) would have material fiscal implications for the United Kingdom;
recognition would be unlawful under section 6 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (public authority not to act contrary to Human Rights Convention)
The recognition of third-country resolution action (or any part of it) is without prejudice to any normal insolvency proceedings.

which is (or, but for third-country resolution action or the exercise of a stabilisation power, would be) in the same group as a third-country institution or a third-country parent undertaking, and
in respect of which any conditions specified in an order made by the Treasury under section 81D are met (applying that order as if references to the bank were references to the third-country institution or third-country parent undertaking),
“third-country parent undertaking”
“third-country resolution action” means action under the

This section applies where an instrument under section 89H recognises any third-country resolution action (or a part of it).
The third-country resolution action (or part) produces the same legal effects in any part of the United Kingdom as it would have produced had it been made (with due authority) under the law of that part of the United Kingdom.
For the purposes of supporting, or giving full effect to, the third-county resolution action (or the part), the Bank of England may exercise, in relation to a third-country institution, a third-country parent undertaking or another third-country group company, one or more of the stabilisation options, or one or more of the stabilisation powers, available to the Bank in relation to a similar entity in the United Kingdom.
But, for the purposes of exercising a power by virtue of subsection (3), provision which could otherwise be made under this Part in a mandatory reduction instrument, share transfer instrument, property transfer instrument or resolution instrument may instead be made in—
the instrument made under section 89H recognising the third-country resolution action (or part), or
a further instrument made by the Bank of England under this section.
An instrument under paragraph (b) is a “third-country instrument” (as is an instrument under section 89H(2)(a), (b) or (c)).
This Part (other than this section) applies in relation to the exercise of any power by virtue of subsection (3), subject to subsections (6) to

Sections 7 to 8ZA do not apply.
Section 60B (principle of no less favourable treatment) applies in relation to compensation arrangements in the case of third-country instruments in relation to any third-country resolution action (or a part of it) as if—
references to the initial instrument were to the first third-country instrument under section 89H recognising that action (or part), and
in subsection (3) the reference to the coming into effect of the initial instrument were a reference to the taking of the third-country resolution action recognised (or recognised in part) by that instrument.
Section 81B, 81ZBA and 81BA have effect in relation to the exercise of a stabilisation power in respect of a third-country group company as if for subsections (2) and (3) (in each case) there were substituted—
Condition 1 is that third-country resolution action has been taken in respect of a third-country institution, a third-country parent undertaking or another third-country group company, in the same group. Condition 2 is that the Bank of England is satisfied that the exercise of the power in respect of the third-country group company is necessary, having regard to the public interest in the stability of the financial systems of the United Kingdom and the In subsections (2) and (3) “third-country resolution action”, “third-country institution”, “third-country parent undertaking”,
Sections 81ZZBA, 81ZZBB, 81ZBB, 81ZBC, 81BB and 81BC do not apply.
Section 89H(7) applies for the purposes of this section.
Section 23 (incidental provision) applies to a third-country instrument as it applies to a share transfer instrument.
Section 24 (procedure: instruments) applies to a third-country instrument as it applies to a share transfer instrument, except that references in that section to the bank are to be read as references to the third-country institution, third-country parent undertaking or other third-country group company, to which the third-country instrument relates.
Section 76 (international obligation notice: general) applies in relation to the making of a third-country instrument under section 89H or 89I as it applies in relation to the exercise of a stabilisation power, except that—
for the purposes of section 76(3), section 4 is to be read subject to the modification in section 89I(6), and
in subsection (4), the reference to a bank is to be read as a reference to a third-country institution, a third-country parent undertaking or another third-country group company, in respect of which a third-country instrument is made.
Section 77 (international obligation notice: bridge bank) applies where the Bank of England has, by virtue of section 89I, transferred all or part of the business of a third-country institution, a third-country parent undertaking or another third-country group company, to a bridge bank as it applies where the Bank of England has transferred all or part of the business of a bank or banking group company to a bridge bank.
