Note 2: In all cases, there will be a provision of the new corporations legislation that corresponds to the relevant old provision, either because:

  • (a) the new corporations legislation actually contains a provision that corresponds to the relevant old provision; or
  • (b) the new corporations legislation, because of section 1401 or 1408, is taken to include the relevant old provision (whether with or without modifications), in which case the provision so taken to be included will be the corresponding provision.

    (b) any orders made in relation to the proceeding before the commencement had been made in relation to the proceeding as continued by this section.
