This Order may be cited as the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 (Consequential Provisions and Modifications) Order 2022 and comes into force on the day after the day on which it is made.

Any modification made by this Order has the same extent as the provision modified.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in the Scotland Act 1998 and any other enactment (except the Crown Suits (Scotland) Act 18574) to an office-holder in the Scottish Administration are to be taken to include a reference to Consumer Scotland.

Paragraph (1) applies whether or not the enactment defines the expression “office-holder in the Scottish Administration” by reference to the Scotland Act 1998 or any specific provision of that Act.

Nothing in this Order affects the validity of anything done (or having effect as if done) by or in relation to the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux5 before its coming into force.

Anything done (or having effect as if done) at the coming into force of this Order by or in relation to the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux, so far as it relates to any function of the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux transferred to Consumer Scotland by this Order, has effect, so far as is necessary for continuing its effect after the coming into force of this Order, as if done by or in relation to Consumer Scotland.

Anything (including legal proceedings) which at the coming into force of this Order is in the process of being done by or in relation to the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux, so far as it relates to any function transferred by this Order, may be continued by or in relation to Consumer Scotland.

So far as may be necessary for the purposes of or in consequence of a transfer of a function by this Order, a reference to the Scottish Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux in an instrument or other document is to be treated as a reference to Consumer Scotland.
