Article 17 Continuity of the exercise of functions

Anything done by or in relation to (or having effect as if done by or in relation to) the Residuary Body in connection with any interests in land, property, rights or liabilities which by virtue of this Order are transferred to a local council, a district council, the Common Council or the National Rivers Authority shall so far as is required for continuing its effect after the transfer date have effect as if done by or in relation to that council or that Authority, as the case may be.

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), that paragraph applies to the making of any application, decision or determination; to the giving of notice; to the entering into of any agreement or other instrument; and to the bringing of any action or proceeding; but nothing in this Order shall be construed as transferring any contract of employment.

Any pending action or proceeding may be amended in such a manner as may be appropriate in consequence of this Order.
