Where a settlement takes or has taken effect by reference to another settlement, the trustees for the time being of the settlement to which reference is made shall be the trustees of the settlement by reference, but this section shall not apply if the settlement by reference contains an appointment of trustees thereof for the purposes of the Settled Land Act 1928 or any corresponding previous enactment or this Act.

This section shall apply to instruments coming into operation before as well as after the commencement of this Act, but shall have effect without prejudice to any appointment made by the Court before such commencement of trustees of a settlement by reference or of the compound settlement consisting of a settlement and any other settlement or settlements made by reference thereto, and to the power of the Court in any case after such commencement to make any such appointment, and where any such appointment has been made before such commencement or is made thereafter this section shall not apply or shall cease to apply.

In this section a settlement by reference to another settlement means a settlement of property upon the limitations and subject to the powers and provisions of an existing settlement, with or without variation.
