(2) A continued statute has effect after the commencement as if: (a) it were a Statute of the University duly made by the Council under Part 4; and (b) the requirements of section 52 had been complied with in relation to it; and may accordingly be amended or repealed by the Council. (3) Any rules or orders made under the continued statute that were in force immediately before the commencement have effect on and after the commencement as if they had been made under a Statute, and may be amended or repealed accordingly. (4) Where any difficulty arises in the application to a particular matter of: (a) a continued statute; or (b) any rules or orders referred to in subsection (3); the Council may make such decision as it thinks proper to resolve the difficulty. (5) A reference in subsection (4) to a difficulty arising includes a reference to a difficulty arising because of a conflict or inconsistency between 2 or more continued statutes or between rules or orders made under 2 or more continued statutes. (6) A decision made under subsection (4) has effect in spite of anything contained in a continued statute or in any rules or orders referred to in subsection (3).
