(b) the other person is not the borrower’s partner.
Loan capital rules
(2) For the purposes of section 51:
(a) the capital amount owing by the subsidised borrower on the subsidised loan on the first authorisation day for the entitlement period is taken to be 50% of the total capital amount owing on the subsidised loan at that time; and
(b) at any particular time, the subsidised borrower has the loan limit that applies under subsection 51(2).
