In the article, “relevant proceedings” means any proceedings or inquiries in respect of any situation, matter, thing, happening, act, refusal, neglect or failure occurring during the period before this Part ceased to have effect in accordance with article 51 (duration of temporary jetty powers), so far as relating to the harbour or any part of the harbour (whether or not relating also to a part of the Port of Bridgwater), including, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, proceedings for an offence committed or penalty incurred, or for recovery of expenses, rates, dues, fees or charges incurred, during that period.

No relevant proceedings shall be affected by this Part ceasing to have effect, and any such proceedings or inquiries may be commenced, continued and concluded, and any decision, judgment or ruling in them may be enforced, as if this Part, and any relevant general or special direction or byelaw, had not ceased to have effect.

Any period of time current in relation to relevant proceedings when this Part ceases to have effect shall not be affected by its ceasing to have effect and may continue to run as if this Part, and any relevant general or special direction or byelaw, had not ceased to have effect.
