shall have effect as from that date as if made, effected or done by, to or in relation to that transferee in all respects as if that transferee were the same person in law as NIAL.

(a)in any agreement, deed, bond or instrument;
(b)in any process or other document issued, prepared or employed for the purposes of any proceeding before any court or other tribunal or authority; and

(b)refers (in whatever terms and whether expressly or by implication) to a member or officer of NIAL,

4. Where the rights and liabilities of NIAL under any agreement, scheme or arrangement for the payment of pensions, allowances or gratuities to, or in respect of, its employees vest under Article 54 in the successor company, any period of employment with NIAL shall count for the purposes of such agreement, scheme or arrangement (as it has effect by virtue of paragraph 3(1) in relation to employment with the successor company) as a period of employment with the successor company.N.I.
5.—(1) It shall be the duty of NIAL and the transferee to take, as and when the transferee considers appropriate, all such steps as may be requisite to secure that the vesting in the transferee under Article 54 of any foreign asset or liability is effective under the relevant foreign law.N.I.

7.—(1) Without prejudice to the powers conferred by Article 71(3), every provision contained in subordinate legislation which is in operation immediately before the transfer date and then applicable to NIAL in relation to assets or liabilities which vest in a transferee under Article 54 shall have effect as if—N.I.
(a)for references to NIAL there were substituted references to the transferee; and
(b)for any reference (however worded and whether expressly or by implication) to the undertaking or business, or any part of the undertaking or business, of NIAL there were substituted a reference to the undertaking or business, or the corresponding part of the undertaking or business, of the transferee.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) applies to the Holding Company as it applies to NIAL.
8.—(1) Where a distribution is proposed to be declared during the accounting reference period of the successor company which includes the transfer date or before any accounts are laid or filed in respect of that period, Articles 278 to 284 of the Companies Order (accounts relevant for determining whether a distribution may be made by a company) shall have effect as if—N.I.
(a)references in Article 278 to the company's accounts or to accounts relevant under that Article; and
(b)references in Article 281 to initial accounts,
included references to such accounts as, on the assumptions stated in sub-paragraph (2), would have been prepared under Article 234 of the Companies Order in respect of the relevant year.
(2) The said assumptions are—
(a)that the relevant year had been a financial year of the successor company;
(b)that the vesting effected by Article 54 had been a vesting of such of the assets and liabilities to which NIAL was entitled or subject immediately before the beginning of the relevant year as are determined by the transfer scheme and had been effected immediately after the beginning of that year;
(c)that the value of any asset and the amount of any liabilities of NIAL vested in the successor company under Article 54 had been the value or (as the case may be) the amount assigned to that asset or liability for the purposes of the statement of accounts prepared by NIAL in respect of the financial year immediately preceding the relevant year;
(d)that any securities of the successor company issued or allotted before the declaration of the distribution had been issued or allotted before the end of the relevant year; and
(e)such other assumptions (if any) as may appear to the directors of the successor company to be necessary or expedient for the purposes of this paragraph.
(3) For the purposes of the said accounts the amount to be included in respect of any item shall be determined as if anything done by NIAL (whether by way of acquiring, revaluing or disposing of any asset or incurring, revaluing or discharging any liability, or by carrying any amount to any provision or reserve, or otherwise) had been done by the successor company.
(4) Accordingly (but without prejudice to the generality of the preceding provisions) the amount to be included in any reserves of the successor company as representing its accumulated realised profits shall be determined as if any profits realised and retained by NIAL had been realised and retained by the successor company.
(5) The said accounts shall not be regarded as statutory accounts for the purposes of Article 61.
(6) In this paragraph “the relevant year” means the last complete financial year ending before the transfer date.
9. Expressions used in paragraphs 4 to 8 and in Part V have the same meaning in those paragraphs as in that Part.N.I.
10. The Department may by order make such other transitional provision in relation to the coming into operation of any provision of this Order as it thinks necessary or expedient.N.I.
11. The provisions of this Schedule and any order under paragraph 10 shall have effect without prejudice to sections 28 and 29 of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954F2.N.I.
