(a)to a person (C) who is not a party to the contract, or
(b)either to such a person or to B.
(2)B is not regarded as entering into a land transaction by reason of entering into the contract, but the following provisions have effect.
(3)If the contract is substantially performed B is treated for the purposes of this Part as acquiring a chargeable interest, and accordingly as entering into a land transaction.

(6)Where—
(a)this section applies by virtue of subsection (1)(b), and
(b)by reason of B’s direction or request, A becomes obliged to convey a chargeable interest to B,

(7)Section 44 applies in relation to any contract between B and C, in respect of the chargeable interest referred to in subsection (1) above, that is to be completed by a conveyance.
References to completion in that section, as it so applies, include references to conveyance by A to C of the subject matter of the contract between B and C.
