Paragraph 2 Matters pending under sections 49 and 52 of the Act

Any application pending for consent to the transfer of land in the Board area made under section 49 of the Act, and any application pending for a licence to plant trees in the Board area made under section 52 of the Act, shall lapse.

Any refusal of such consent under section 49 of the Act, and any refusal of such a licence under section 52 of the Act, made before the coming into operation of this order shall, subject to paragraph 1(2) above, cease to have effect; and insofar as any licence under the last-mentioned section was granted subject to conditions the conditions shall cease to have effect.

Any appeal pending to the Minister against refusal of consent under section 49 of the Act, and any appeal pending to the Minister against refusal, or against the conditions, of a licence under section 52 of the Act, shall lapse.

The lapse, in consequence of the dissolution of the Board by virtue of this order, of any consent under section 49 of the Act, and any licence under section 52 of the Act, shall not render unlawful any action which would but for this order be unlawful under either of those sections without such a consent or licence.
