sec.246 Proceedings against trustees for breach of trust in relation to exercise of investment power
Section 80 applies in relation to a proceeding for a breach of trust in relation to the exercise of an investment power— whether the investment power was exercised before or after the commencement; but only if the proceeding is started after the commencement. For a proceeding started after the commencement in relation to an investment power exercised before the commencement, section 80 applies as if— the section did not include section 80(2)(b); and the reference in section 80(2)(c) to section 71 included a reference to the repealed Act, section 24. Also, for subsections (1) and (2) and section 80 as applied by subsections (1) and (2), a reference to an investment power is taken to include a reference to a power conferred on a trustee under the repealed Act, part 3. The repealed Act, section 30B continues to apply in relation to a proceeding mentioned in that section and started before the commencement as if this Act had not been enacted.

(sec.246-ssec.3) Also, for subsections (1) and (2) and section 80 as applied by subsections (1) and (2), a reference to an investment power is taken to include a reference to a power conferred on a trustee under the repealed Act, part 3.
