6.1 The rules and regulations listed in Schedule 3 are hereby revoked and such revocation shall have the equivalent effect as would the repeal of an enactment by an Act of Parliament pursuant to section 16 of the Interpretation Act 1978.

6.2 Without prejudice to the generality of rule 6.1 but for the avoidance of any doubt, such revocation shall not:

(a) affect the validity of any application or determination made, certificate granted or other thing done under the rules and regulations listed in Schedule 3 and such application, determination, certificate or thing shall have effect as if it were made, granted or done under these rules;

(b) cause the interruption of time periods nor affect any obligation to deliver any certificate, application or any other document, information or thing to the Council or the Society nor the rights of the Council or the Society against any person in respect of his failure to deliver such a certificate, application, document, information or thing; or

(c) affect the taking or continuation of any proceedings by, or the exercise or continued exercise of any power available to the Society, the Council or any other person in respect of any act or thing done or omitted to be done under, any breach of, or any matter arising from, any of the rules and regulations listed in Schedule 3.
