Validation of schemes etc
17 Validation of schemes etc
A scheme approved under this Act before the commencement of the amending Act is taken to be, and always to have been, a valid scheme if it would have been valid had the amendments made by the amending Act been in force when the scheme was approved.
Anything done or omitted to be done in respect of such a scheme is taken to be, and always to have been, validly done or omitted. In particular, an insurance policy required by this Act before a limitation on liability in damages of a person to whom such a scheme applies is reduced is taken to comply, and always to have complied, with this Act if it would have complied had the amendments made by the amending Act been in force when the policy was issued.
This clause extends to proceedings pending in a court on the commencement of this clause.
