(d) the custody of any document, goods or thing held by Challenge as bailee for any other person at any office or branch or agency of Challenge transferred to Westpac by Part 2 is by virtue of this Part transferred to Bank of Melbourne at the Bank of Melbourne vesting time, and the rights, duties and liabilities of Challenge under any contract of bailment relating to the document, goods or thing transferred at that time to Westpac are transferred to Bank of Melbourne;
(e) any negotiable instrument or order for the payment of money, whether drawn, given, accepted or endorsed before, at or after the commencement time, which is expressed to be drawn by, drawn on, or given to, or accepted or endorsed by Challenge, or payable at any place of business of Challenge, has the same effect on and after the Bank of Melbourne vesting time as if it had been drawn by, drawn on, or given to, or accepted or endorsed by, Bank of Melbourne, or payable at the same place of business of Bank of Melbourne;
(f) any information held immediately before the commencement time by Challenge relating to a customer or depositor of that bank is available to and may be used by Bank of Melbourne on and after the Bank of Melbourne vesting time.
