(b) a particular class of cases, | ||
the effect of section 110 would be unduly onerous or would cause undue unfairness or undue hardship, and that it is appropriate in all the circumstances to do so, he or she may by order provide that, notwithstanding anything in that section, a provision in a relevant instrument that provides for a consequence mentioned or referred to in that section has effect to the extent specified in the order. | ||

(b) if the preparation of such a version would be impracticable, or would result in the version being seriously misleading, that the order is exempt from the operation of section 3(1) of that Act. | ||
