between the approved clearing house and each participant;
between each issuer and each participant; and
between each participant and every other participant.
(2)
The approved clearing house, each issuer and each participant are treated as having agreed to observe, and to perform the obligations under, the provisions of the business rules that are in force for the time being, so far as those provisions are applicable to the approved clearing house, issuer or participant, as the case may be.
(3)
In this section, “issuer” means a person who issued or made available, or proposes to issue or make available, securities, securities‑based derivatives contracts or units in a collective investment scheme that are cleared or settled by the approved clearing house.
