223 Agreements and instruments generally
Any agreement or instrument (including subsidiary legislation) in force immediately before the transfer time —
to which a former body was a party; or
which contains a reference to a former body,
has effect after the transfer time, to the extent to which the agreement or instrument relates to the functions of a relevant successor to the former body, as if —
the relevant successor were substituted for the former body as a party to the agreement or instrument; and
any reference in the agreement or instrument to the former body were (unless the context otherwise requires) amended to be or include a reference to the relevant successor.
This section does not apply to any agreement or instrument covered by another provision of this Part.
