#### Deprecated rules

#### Removed rules

ln-23 (Mandatory)
REMOVED: Context: Repayment: If facilityRepayment/amount/globalAmount/amount and all loanContractRepayment/loanContractSummary/originalAmount/amount have the same-currency, then facilityRepayment/amount/globalAmount/amount must be greater than or equal to the sum of all loanContractRepayment/loanContractSummary/originalAmount/amount. Rationale for removal: Rule ln-23 is incorrectly defined since there is no credible relationship between the original amount of a loan contract and the repayment occurring at a point in time in the future after that..
