<Text>Under the arrangements in that Order, many provisions of the Act will not apply to bankruptcies where the debtor application was received by AiB or the petition to court was presented before 1 April 2015.  Others are subject to specific provision to take account of their application (e.g. on how the common financial tool under section 5A of the 1985 Act and section 3 of the Act apply, but are restricted in the extent to which they apply to existing bankruptcies).</Text>
