Transfer of special powers of abolished bodies.
|
6.—(1) Every power, right, privilege, and authority conferred on or vested in any of the abolished bodies, either alone or jointly with another abolished body or any other body, by or under any statute or by contract, agreement, or licence (not being a power, right, privilege, or authority arising under general statutory or other law by reason merely of such abolished body being a corporate body or an urban district council or a sanitary authority) and in existence immediately before the appointed day shall, on the appointed day, become and be transferred to and vested in the successor of such abolished body and shall thenceforth be exercisable by such successor accordingly, either alone or jointly as the case may require.

(2) Where two or more abolished bodies having the same successor are, immediately before the appointed day, each possessed of a power, right, privilege, or authority in relation to the same subject matter and such powers, rights, privileges, or authorities are both transferred by this section to such successor then, if such powers, rights, privileges or authorities were exercisable by such abolished bodies jointly, they shall merge in such successor and become a single power, right, privilege, or authority, but, if such powers, rights, privileges, or authorities were exercisable by such abolished bodies severally and separately, they shall be cumulative in such successor and shall be exercisable by such successor as separate powers, rights, privileges, or authorities.
