Any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, or cause of action pending or existing immediately before the commencement of this Act by or against a dissolved body or any person acting on its behalf may be continued or instituted by or against the Council as it might have been by or against the dissolved body or such person if this Act had not been passed.

Any appeal brought or any leave to appeal applied for on or after the commencement of this Act against a decision given before that commencement in any legal proceedings to which a dissolved body was a party may be brought by or against the Council.
