(b)the need to ensure, in appropriate cases, that the relevant institution has sufficient eligible liabilities to ensure that, if mandatory reduction provision within the meaning of section 6B of the Banking Act 2009 or special bail-in provision were made—
(i)losses could be absorbed; and
(ii)the capital ratio and, as applicable, the leverage ratio, of the relevant institution could be restored,

(c)the need to ensure that, if the resolution plan anticipates that certain classes of eligible liabilities might be excluded from bail-in under section 48B(10) of the Banking Act 2009 or that certain classes of eligible liabilities might be transferred to a recipient in full under a partial transfer—
(i)the relevant institution has sufficient other eligible liabilities or own funds to ensure that losses could be absorbed; and

to the level necessary to enable it to continue to comply with the conditions for authorisation under Part 4A of FSMA and to continue to carry out the activities for which it is authorised;
(d)the size, the business model, the funding model and the risk profile of the relevant institution; F8...
(e)the extent to which the failure of the relevant institution would have adverse effects on financial stability, including, due to its interconnectedness with other institutions or entities or with the rest of the financial system, through contagion to other institutions or entities;] [F9and
(f)relevant assessment criteria specified in any Commission Regulation containing regulatory technical standards adopted by the European Commission under Article 45.2 of the recovery and resolution directive, so far as they are retained EU law.]
