"During the period of any Temporary Loan Transfer, a Player shall not play against his Transferor Club without the prior written permission of the Transferor Club (which, if given, must be indicated on the appropriate Temporary Loan Transfer form)."
So it was decided at the time of the transfer. That makes it more defensible if it was part of the negotiations.
