s 85 Exercise of statutory powers between enactment and commencement of Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment
When an Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment which is not to come into operation immediately on the passing thereof confers power to make any appointment or to make subsidiary legislation, or to issue notifications, or to prescribe forms or to do any other thing for the purposes of the Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment, such power may, unless the contrary intention appears, be exercised at any time after the passing of the Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment, subject to the restriction that any appointment, instrument, notification or thing made, granted, issued, given or done under such power shall not, unless the contrary intention appears in the Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment, or the appointment, instrument, notification or thing is necessary for bringing the Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment into operation, have any effect until the Act of Parliament, Ordinance or Enactment comes into operation.
