Section 37

Where, on 1 July 2002, any disciplinary proceedings were pending against any employee of the Government transferred to the service of the Agency, the proceedings must be carried on and completed by the Agency.

Where, on 1 July 2002, 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 direction had been made thereon, the committee must complete the hearing or investigation and 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 Agency and has the same force or effect as if it had been made by the Agency pursuant to the authority vested in the Agency under this Act.

All proceedings or causes of action pending or existing immediately before 1 July 2002 by or against the Government in respect of any of the departments specified in the Schedule may be continued, completed and enforced by or against the Agency.
