Preservation of right of appeal under Friendly Societies Act

119.—(1) In this article a “pre-commencement decision” means—

(a) a decision falling within section 58(1) of the original Friendly Societies Act;

(b) a determination or requirement falling within section 58(2) of that Act.

(2) Where, before commencement—

(a) a pre-commencement decision has been taken against which an appeal may be brought to a tribunal constituted in accordance with section 59 of the original Friendly Societies Act (“a friendly society tribunal”);

(b) the period in which an appeal against that decision could be brought has not expired; and

(c) no notice of appeal has been sent in relation to the decision,

an appeal may be brought against that decision under section 58(1) or (2) of the original Friendly Societies Act and the repeal of those subsections or the repeal or amendment of the section under which the decision was taken does not affect the continuity of the period set by or under the original Friendly Societies Act as the period within which an appeal against that decision may be brought.
