Clause 23

Where on the appointed day any disciplinary proceedings were pending against any employee of the TAS or the NCB transferred to the service of the Authority, the proceedings shall be carried on and completed by the Authority; but where on that day 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 or decision had been rendered thereon, the committee shall complete the hearing or investigation and make such order, ruling or direction as it could have made under the authority vested in it before the appointed day.

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