Regulation 33 Transitional provisions

Any reference in these regulations to a pension or other sum paid or payable thereunder, or to rights thereunder, shall be treated as including a reference to a pension or other sum paid or payable under, or to rights under, the corresponding provision of any enactment revoked by these regulations.

Any agreement made or deemed to have been made under section 1 of the 1961 Measure shall be deemed to have been made under the corresponding provision of regulation 5 and any arrangements made or deemed to have been made under section 41 or 42 of that Measure shall be deemed to have been made under regulation 23 or 24 of these regulations.

Any agreement made under section 15 of the 1961 Measure which is in force immediately before the coming into force of these regulations shall continue to have effect notwithstanding the revocation of the Clergy Occupational Pensions Scheme Regulations 1977^f1.

Any pension suspended or reduced under any enactment revoked by these regulations, and any condition imposed on the entitlement to any pension under any such enactment, shall be deemed to have been suspended, reduced or imposed under the corresponding provision of these regulations.

Where any period of time specified in any enactment revoked by these regulations is current at the coming into operation of these regulations, these regulations shall have effect as if the corresponding provision of these regulations had been in force when that period began to run.

Notwithstanding the revocation by these regulations of section 10A(9) of the 1961 Measure, the Commissioners may at the request of the Board authorise the Board to grant a pension to a child of a clerk who died before 1st April 1986, being a child who would have been entitled to a pension under the 1961 Measure if the clerk had died on or after that date.

Where, apart from this paragraph, anything done under or for the purposes of any enactment revoked by these regulations would cease to have effect by virtue of that revocation, it shall have effect as if it had been done under or for the purposes of the corresponding provision of these regulations.

Nothing in this regulation shall be taken as prejudicing the application of sections 16 and 17 of the Interpretation Act 1978^f2.
