Article 27 Revocations and savings

The Rules specified in Schedule 2 to these Rules are hereby revoked.

The revocation of any Rules by these Rules shall not affect any pension granted before the coming into operation of these Rules.

In so far as any surrender, report, examination, appointment, decision, election, request, nomination, declaration or amendment made, notification or notice given, particulars furnished, or other thing done, under any Rules revoked by these Rules could have been made, given, furnished or done under a corresponding provision of these Rules, it shall not be invalidated by the revocation, but shall have effect as if made, given, furnished or done under that corresponding provision.

Where a period of time specified in any Rules revoked by these Rules is current on the coming into operation of these Rules, these Rules shall have effect as if the corresponding provision thereof had been in force when that period began to run.

The mention of particular matters in this Rule shall be without prejudice to the general application of section 38 of the Interpretation Act 1889 as it applies for the interpretation of these Rules.
