Article 11 Transitional and saving provisions

The transfer by this Order of any property, rights or liabilities of the 1998 Act Assembly to the Assembly Commission does not affect the validity of anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the 1998 Act Assembly before the date on which the transfer takes effect.

Anything (including legal proceedings) which at the time the transfer takes effect, is in the process of being done by the 1998 Act Assembly, so far as it relates to any property, rights or liabilities transferred by this Order to the Assembly Commission, shall have effect as if done by the Assembly Commission and may be continued by or in relation to the Assembly Commission.

Anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the 1998 Act Assembly in connection with any property, rights or liabilities transferred to the Assembly Commission by this Order will, if in force at the time when the transfer takes effect, have effect as if done by or in relation to the Assembly Commission in so far as that is required for continuing its effect after that time.

Subject to any contrary provision in this Order, all contracts, deeds, agreements and other instruments subsisting in favour of, or against, and all notices in force which were given (or having effect as if they had been given) by, or to, the 1998 Act Assembly in connection with any property, rights or liabilities transferred by this Order to the Assembly Commission shall be of full force and effect in favour of, or against, the Assembly Commission.

Subject to any contrary provision in this Order, the Assembly Commission shall be substituted for the 1998 Act Assembly in any contracts, deeds, agreements and other instruments which relate to any property, rights or liabilities transferred by this Order to the Assembly Commission, and which are made or commenced before the coming into force of this Order.
