(1)The Secretary of State may by order make such incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary provision as appears to him to be necessary or proper—

(b)any legal, or other, proceedings to which the first body is a party and which are pending immediately before the transfer may, in so far as they derive from or relate to those powers and duties, be continued on or after the transfer (but may only be so continued) as if the second body instead of the first body were that party; and

(c)any writings or actings of or with regard to the first body which although not writings or actings comprehended under paragraph (a) or (b) above have, immediately before the transfer, some legal effect shall, in so far as they derive from or relate to those powers and duties, have such effect as from the transfer as if they had been writings or actings of, or as the case may be with regard to, the second body:

Provided that the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall have no effect in respect of criminal, or delictual, liability of either body (or of such liability of their members or officers).

(3)Subsection (2) above may by order made by the Secretary of State be excluded, either wholly or to such extent as he may specify in the order, from applying in any particular case.
