EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order commences the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 so far as that Act has not already been commenced. Section 19 of the Act is already in force, having been substituted for the original section 19 by section 19 of the Insurance Act 2015 (c.4), which came into force two months after the passing of the Insurance Act 2015. This Order accordingly commences the rest of the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010, so that the entire Act is now commenced.
