52 General Saving

Except as these Rules expressly or by necessary implication provide otherwise, all persons, things and circumstances appointed or created by or under the former Rules or existing under the former Rules immediately before the commencement of these Rules continue under these Rules and have the same, operation and effect as they respectively would have had had the former Rules not been revoked.
