Article 3 Designation of pre-commencement provisions to take effect as rules
This article applies to a pre-commencement provision which—
has been designated by the Authority in accordance with article 4;
could, with the modifications (if any) made to it under article 5, be made in whole or in part under a provision of the Act conferring power on the Authority to make rules; and
has not been amended or revoked at any time between its designation and commencement.
Where a pre-commencement provision—
has been designated by the Authority in accordance with article 4; and
has been amended at any time between its designation and commencement by a further such provision which has itself been so designated,
this article applies to the original provision, subject to that amendment.
A pre-commencement provision to which this article applies has effect after commencement—
with such modifications (if any) as may be made under article 5; and
to the extent that (with those modifications) it could have been made under a provision of or under the Act conferring power on the Authority to make rules,
as if it were a rule made under that provision.
Paragraph (3) applies in spite of any repeal, revocation or other lapsing of the pre-commencement provision which occurs on commencement.
