        (1)         The register of veterinary surgeons maintained under the repealed Act continues in existence as the general register under this Act.

        (2)         The register of specialists maintained under the repealed Act continues in existence as the specialist register under this Act.

        (3)         On the commencement of this clause—

            (a)         the name of any company that was registered as a veterinary surgeon under the repealed Act will be taken to be removed from the general register; and

            (b)         the name of each person who, immediately before the commencement of this clause, was the holder of a permit that was in force under the repealed Act will be taken to be added to the general register (as if the person had been granted limited registration),

and the Registrar will modify the registers accordingly.

        (4)         A person whose name is on the general register or the specialist register immediately following the commencement of this clause will be taken to be registered under this Act on the relevant register and any restrictions, limitations or conditions that applied to the registration of the person, or the permit held by the person, under the repealed Act immediately before that commencement will be taken to continue to apply to the registration of the person under this Act as if they had been imposed by the Board under this Act.

        (5)         If a person whose name was removed from a register under the repealed Act for any reason and whose name had not, before the commencement of this Act, been reinstated on that register, applies for registration under this Act, the Board may deal with the application as though it were an application for reinstatement on the appropriate register under this Act.
