249. Subsection (2) operates in the circumstances where the existing Scheme administrator is replaced. It makes provision for the transfer of property, rights and liabilities, including pension liabilities in respect of staff in such circumstances. The replacement of the Scheme administrator itself would be achieved by revoking the designation of the existing scheme administrator using the power under section 64 and making a new designation.
