Section 37

Where, on 1 September 2003, any disciplinary proceedings were pending against any employee of the transferring body transferred to the service of the Agency, the proceedings are to be carried on and completed by the Agency.

Where, on 1 September 2003, 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 on the matter, 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 to be 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 September 2003 by or against a transferring body in respect of its transferred agency may be continued, completed and enforced by or against the Agency.
