The rights and liabilities of all persons are declared to be, and to have been throughout the relevant period, for all purposes the same as if—
repealed section 142AB had never been in force; and

a legal proceeding started after the commencement.
However, despite subsection (3)(b), an act done or omission made during the relevant period is not an offence against section 155AD(2)(b)(ii) or (3)(b)(ii) to the extent it would not have been an offence against that provision if the amending Act, section 9 had not commenced.
