25 Transitional provisions
1 Paragraphs (2) and (3) apply in relation to a relevant function or any relevant property or liability.
2 Anything (including legal proceedings) which, at the coming into force of this Order, is in the process of being done by or in relation to the transferor may, so far as it relates to the relevant function or relevant property or liability, be continued by or in relation to the transferee.
3 Anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the transferor for the purposes of or in connection with the relevant function or relevant property or liability shall have effect as if done by or in relation to the transferee so far as necessary or expedient for continuing its effect after the coming into force of this Order.
4 Where the thing done (or having effect as if done) by the transferor is the exercise of a relevant function by statutory instrument, paragraph (3) applies in relation to the exercise of the relevant function even though the relevant function is not exercisable by the transferee by statutory instrument.
5 Documents or forms printed for use in connection with a relevant function may be used in connection with the function even though they contain, or are to be construed as containing, references to the transferor; and for the purposes of the use of any such documents or forms after the coming into force of this Order, those references are to be read as references to the transferee.
