DAA 3.9.1(2) and 3.8.4(2): permission to combine items '(f) and (j)' copied from COB Schedule 3 after relettering
In COB Schedule 3 (source text) (f) is the price and (j) the firm's charges, so combining them gives an all-in price. DAA 3.9.1 drops COB item (c) (client's name), so the price is (e) and the charges (i); yet 3.9.1(2) still says '(f) and (j)' - now the execution-only statement and amounts received from another Person, which cannot form a single price. DAA 3.8.4 drops three COB items (principal/agent, client name, total payable) and ends at (i): '(j)' does not exist there at all (and the paragraph is numbered (2) without a (1)).
Proposed correction
Please read "items (e) and (i)" for "items (f) and (j)" in 3.9.1(2) and "items (d) and (g)" in 3.8.4(2), and number the lead-in of 3.8.4 as (1).
