The Natural Resources Body for Wales (Functions) Order 2013

Continuity of exercise of functions

3.—(1) This paragraph applies where—

(a) a function (“the old function”) was conferred on the CCW by Part 7 of the 1990 Act or any other provision which is repealed by this Order;

(b) an equivalent function (“the new function”) is conferred on the Body by any provision of the Establishment Order (as amended by this Order).

(2) Anything (including, without limitation, legal proceedings) which, at the transfer date, is in the process of being done in relation to the old function may be continued in relation to the new function.

(3) Anything done in relation to the old function is, so far as is required for continuing its effect on and after the transfer date, to have effect as if done in relation to the new function.

(4) Any reference to the CCW (and any reference which is to be read as a reference to the CCW) in any document relating to the old function is, so far as is required for giving effect to this paragraph, to be treated as a reference to the Body.
