Section 65

Where on 1 April 2001 any disciplinary proceedings were pending against any employee of the Government transferred to the service of the Board under section 61, the proceedings must be carried on and completed by the Board.

Where on 1 April 2001 any matter was in the course of being heard or investigated or had been heard or investigated by a committee acting under due authority but no order, ruling or decision had been made on the matter, the committee must complete the hearing or investigation and must make such order, ruling or direction as it could have made under the authority vested in it before that date.

Any order, ruling or direction made by a committee under this section is treated as an order, a ruling or a direction of the Board and has the same force or effect as if it had been made by the Board pursuant to the authority vested in the Board under this Act.
