Crown Agents Act 1979

3(1)Every agreement, whether in writing or not, and every document (not being an agreement to which paragraph 2 applies or an enactment) which refers whether specifically or generally to the former Agents or any of them in their capacity as such shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph so far as applicable.

(2)The agreements to which sub-paragraph (1) applies include any agreement to which paragraph 2 would apply but for the fact that rights, liabilities or obligations under it which were previously vested in one of the former Agents as a party to the agreement are, immediately before the appointed day, vested in a person who is not a party to the agreement.
