Any application for re-registration under those provisions received by the registrar before that date shall not be entertained.

Any application for re-registration under that Act or Order in relation to which the requirements as to re-registration are not met before that date shall be treated as withdrawn.

On an application to which sub-paragraph (1) above applies a resolution agreed to, or other thing done, before 1st October 2009 may be relied on for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
