2.—(1) Rule 1.35, which requires an office-holder to provide information to a creditor on the right to opt out under rule 1.34 in the first communication to the creditor, does not apply to an office-holder who has delivered the first communication before the commencement date.
(2) However, such an office-holder may choose to deliver information on the right to opt out in which case the communication to the creditor must contain the information required by rule 1.35.
