(a)which is to be taken to have occurred by virtue of regulation 21 (authorised payment institutions, small payment institutions and registered account information service providers acting without permission);

(a)will be exclusively for the benefit of the private person; and
(b)cannot be obtained by way of an action brought otherwise than at the suit of the fiduciary or representative.
(3) In this regulation “private person” means—
