The Finance Minister may, by written instrument, declare that, in the event that a specified company is granted an airport lease for a specified airport under section 21 or 22 on a specified day, then, immediately after the grant, a specified liability ceases to be a liability of the Commonwealth and becomes a liability of the company.
The Finance Minister may, by written instrument, declare that, in the event that a specified company is granted an airport lease for a specified airport under section 21 or 22 on a specified day, a specified instrument relating to a specified liability continues to have effect after the liability becomes a liability of the company as if a reference in the instrument to the FAC or the Commonwealth were a reference to the company.
The Finance Minister may, by written instrument, declare that, in the event that a specified company is granted an airport lease for a specified airport under section 21 or 22 on a specified day, the company becomes the Commonwealth’s successor in law in relation to a specified liability immediately after the liability becomes a liability of the company.
A declaration under this section has effect accordingly.
