Section 46(2) and (3) provides that nothing in Part 2, except sections 40 and 41 so far as they concern the ranking of floating charges subsisting immediately before the coming into force of section 46 (“subsisting charges”), affects the validity or operation of subsisting charges, so that the provisions of Chapters 1 and 3 of Part 18 of the Companies Act 1985 are to be treated as having effect for the purposes of subsisting charges despite the repeal of those Chapters."
