Article 6 Supplementary provisions

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

Where any rights or liabilities transferred by article 4 of this Order are rights and liabilities under an agreement (other than a contract of employment) to which the residuary body was a party immediately before the operative date, whether in writing or not, and whether or not of such a nature that rights and liabilities thereunder could be assigned by that body, that agreement shall have effect on and after that date as if—

(a)

the Secretary of State had been a party to that agreement; and

(b)

for any reference (however worded, and whether express or implied) to the residuary body there were substituted, as respects anything falling to be done after the operative date, a reference to the Secretary of State.

(2)

Paragraph (1) of this article (except sub-paragraph (a)) shall apply in relation to any provision of any document other than an agreement if and so far as the provision in question relates to any rights and liabilities transferred by article 4 of this Order as it applies in relation to an agreement to which the residuary body was a party.
