(a)no person has become a successor before the relevant date; or
(b)any person who, by virtue of regulation 4(1), becomes a successor to the licence before the relevant date has not, before the relevant date, given notice under regulation 4(2).
(3) Subject to sub-paragraph (4), an abstraction authorised by a licence to which this sub-paragraph applies shall be treated, before 1st July 2006, as if the amendments made by section 6, so far as it comes into force in accordance with this Order, did not apply to it.
(4) If, in relation to a licence to which sub-paragraph (3) applies, a successor, before 1st July 2006, gives notice to the Agency under regulation 4(2), sub-paragraph (3) shall cease to apply in relation to that licence from the date that notice is given.
(5) For the purposes of the application of section 102(3) in relation to a relevant licence to which sub-paragraph (3) has ceased to apply by virtue of sub-paragraph (4), that licence shall be treated as if section 102(2) applied to it immediately after notice under regulation 4(2) is given.
(6) For the purposes of the application of section 102(3) in relation to a licence which comes to be held, by virtue of regulation 4(3)(b), by the person who was the original holder, that licence shall be treated from the time when it comes to be so held by that person as if section 102(2) applied to it.
(7) If, in relation to a licence to which sub-paragraph (3) applies (“the original licence”), a successor, before 1st July 2006, makes an application under regulation 5 for a new licence—
(a)sub-paragraph (3) shall cease to apply; but
(b)the original licence shall be treated, before the relevant time, as if the amendments made by section 6, so far as it comes into force in accordance with this Order, did not apply to it.
(8) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (7), “relevant time” means whichever is the later of—
(a)the day after the day on which the application for the new licence is finally disposed of; or
(b)the day after the day on which any related application under regulation 6 is finally disposed of.
