(b) immediately before that day, a person was required under section 542 of the old Act to retain books of the company for a period; and
(c) but for the repeal of that section by Schedule 2 to the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 , that period would have ended on or after the commencement day;
section 542 of the old Act continues to apply (despite its repeal by Schedule 2 to the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 ) on and after the commencement day in relation to the person for the remainder of that period.
