I do not see any other reason for a legal entity to *open* a 2nd LIR except to circumvent policy.
It is a different thing on mergers and on different entities under common management where there might legitimate reasons like:
- having one legal entity per country or
- having different legal entities for different parts of the business

Also I see no way for NCC to check on point b), so I am in favor of the simple "if you have one (or already more then one) LIR, you do not get another one for the same legal entity" rule.

best regards
