Article 8 Performance of functions and powers of Agency

Any law in force in a Territory immediately before the dissolution of the Federation shall continue in force in that Territory so far as may be necessary to enable the Liquidating Agency to discharge its functions and exercise its powers under this Order and shall be construed with such modifications and adaptations as may be required for that purpose.

In particular, any provision in any such law conferring or imposing rights, powers or duties on any officer in relation to any matter shall be construed as conferring or imposing such rights, powers or duties on the Liquidating Agency so far as may be necessary to enable it to discharge its functions and exercise its powers in relation to that matter; and the rights, duties and liabilities (including criminal liabilities) of all persons in relation to that matter shall remain as provided by that law.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as giving any person a right of recourse to any court or tribunal mentioned in section 19.
