all proceedings relating to those assets or liabilities begun before the transfer by or against the transferor or a predecessor of the transferor and pending immediately before the transfer are taken to be proceedings pending by or against the transferee;
any act, matter or thing done or omitted to be done in relation to those assets or liabilities before the transfer by, to or in respect of the transferor is (to the extent that that act, matter or thing has any effect) taken to have been done or omitted by, to or in respect of the transferee;
