(2)This paragraph is subject to Supreme Court Rules (whether made before or after the transfer date).

8(1)The transfer of any investments and money under paragraph 7 does not affect the right of any person in or to any thing so transferred.

(2)Any such right may be enforced from the transfer day as if it had always been a right in respect of funds in the Supreme Court.
