(b) a trust is created, or a transfer happens, (the transaction ) as mentioned in paragraph 126-225(1)(a) in relation to *CGT assets of the transferring trust; and

(c) because:

(i) a *foreign law impedes the ability of the receiving trust to issue or transfer the roll-over interest to the investor; or

(ii) it would be impractical or unreasonably onerous to determine whether a foreign law impedes the ability of the receiving trust to issue or transfer the roll-over interest to the investor;
