# The Local Government Reorganisation (Wales) (Transitional Provisions No. 3) Order 1995, Article 3


Where, on or after the operative date, an old authority requires to dispose of any land or buildings or enter into any contract, for which the consent of any new authority is required under section 51 of the 1994 Act, such consent shall be deemed to have been obtained provided that—
(a) any such new authority whose consent is required has not held its first meeting; and
(b) it is the opinion of the old authority that it cannot properly perform its statutory functions if the disposal or, as the case may be, the entering into of the contract is delayed until that new authority has held its first meeting.
