Commencement Information

I1 Sch. para. 1 in force at 31.12.2020 on IP completion day, see reg. 1(2)

(1)

For example, regulation 60(2) of the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 is mentioned only in paragraph 8, which saves its previous wording in certain cases, but that does not prevent the more general saving in paragraph 3 from applying to save the previous wording of regulation 60(2) in other cases; nor does the slight overlap between those paragraphs (in cases in which a contract might, before IP completion day, have been awarded but not yet ‘finalised’ as defined in paragraph (3) affect the interpretation of either saving.
