Summary and Background

Schedule 3: Transfer Schemes

Paragraph 11: Continuity

866.This paragraph ensures anything done by the transferor in relation to something being transferred is treated as though it had been done by the MMO (the transferee). The MMO may also continue anything started by the transferor before transfer. For example, if an enforcement action were being taken against someone by the transferor, this paragraph may enable this action to be continued by the MMO. Similarly, where an employee had brought an action against their employer (the transferor), their case would continue against the MMO after the transfer.
