(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order contains transitional provisions and amendments of enactments which are consequential on the provisions of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Measure 2009 and of Amending Canon No. 29 and of the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) Regulations 2009 (S.I.2009/2108), as amended by the Ecclesiastical Offices (Terms of Service) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2407).
The provisions of the Order disapply the application of Common Tenure to certain statutory provisions and, in particular, those of the Pluralities Act 1838 which relate to the residence of incumbents in their benefices and, in respect of other provisions, ensure the smooth transition to the new Common Tenure regime.
