You could also call this:

“This law explains what happens to old rules and decisions when the new Charitable Trusts Act starts”

This part of the law talks about what happens when the Charitable Trusts Act 1957 comes into effect. Here’s what you need to know:

The law cancels some old rules listed in Schedule 3. But don’t worry, anything that was done under the old rules is still valid. If something was allowed under the old rules and is still allowed under the new ones, it can continue as if it was done under the new rules.

If a board was properly set up under the old rules and still exists when this new law starts, it’s treated as if it was set up under the new law.

Any plans that the Attorney-General approved under the old Religious, Charitable, and Educational Trusts Act 1908 are still considered approved under Part 4 of this new law.

This ensures that changes in the law don’t cause problems for existing trusts and boards.
