(1) This section applies if this part applies to a matter because of
section 263 (Application of pt 3.2—first instructions rule) or

(2) This part ceases to apply to the matter if—
(i) the legal services are or will be provided completely or
primarily in another jurisdiction; or
(ii) the matter has a substantial connection with another
jurisdiction;
or both; and
(i) the client enters under the corresponding law of the other
jurisdiction into an agreement with the law practice that the
corresponding provisions of the corresponding law apply
to the matter; or
(ii) the client notifies under the corresponding law of the other
jurisdiction (and within the time allowed by the
corresponding law) the law practice in writing that the
client requires the corresponding provisions of the
corresponding law to apply to the matter.

by means of a later agreement or notification under section 264.
