Dissolution of existing Council and vesting of assets and liabilities in new Council

63.—(1) In this section “the former council” means the Agricultural Research Council of Rhodesia and Nyasaland established under section 18 of the Research Act 1959 of the Federation.

(2) On the dissolution of the Federation the former council shall be dissolved and all assets, rights, liabilities and obligations of the former council shall vest in the Council by virtue of this section, and accordingly—

(a)all agreements and instruments giving rise or otherwise relating to such assets, rights, liabilities or obligations which were subsisting immediately before the dissolution shall on or after its coming into operation have effect and be enforceable as if references therein to the former council were references to the Council and, where the former council was a party thereto, as if the Council had been a party thereto instead of the former council; and

(b)in any legal proceedings connected with such assets, rights, liabilities or obligations which were pending immediately before the dissolution by or against the former council the Council shall be substituted for the former council as a party.

(3) Where any person who was in the service of the former council immediately before the dissolution of the Federation becomes by virtue of this section a person in the service of the Council, his service under the former council shall be treated as service under the Council for the purposes of determining rights to or eligibility for pension, gratuity or leave in respect of his service.

(4) Where title to any immovable property or any right or obligation relating to such property is vested in the Council by virtue of this section and such title, right or obligation or any deed relating thereto has been registered before the dissolution of the Federation under any law, the officer having charge of the register concerned shall, on application by the Council or any person having an interest in such property, make the necessary alterations in the register and, if presented therefor, endorsements on the deeds relating to the title, right or obligation concerned; and no stamp or other duties shall be payable in respect thereof.
