Article 7 Consequential and supplementary provision

So far as may be necessary in consequence of the transfer of any property or liability to the Lord Advocate by this Order, references to a Minister of the Crown or government department in any enactment or prerogative instrument, and in any other instrument or document, shall be read as if they were or included references to the Lord Advocate.

Nothing in this Order shall have the effect of completing the title of the Lord Advocate to any land transferred by this Order, or to any other right or interest transferred by this Order title to which requires to be completed by registration for the purpose of making it a real right.

Any property, in respect of which but for this Order–

would be required in order to complete title to it, shall transfer to and vest in the Lord Advocate by virtue of this Order as if at the date on which the transfer of the property by this Order takes effect the Lord Advocate had taken delivery or possession of the property or had made intimation of its assignation to him, as the case may be.
