Liability for loss occurring before dissolution day

10. (1) A claim in respect of any loss or injury alleged to have been suffered by any person arising out of the performance before the dissolution day of the functions of the Authority shall, on and after that day, lie against the Council and not against the Authority.

(2) Any legal proceedings pending immediately before the dissolution day to which the Authority is a party, shall be continued on and after that day, with the substitution in the proceedings of the Council for the Authority and the proceedings shall not abate by reason of such substitution.

(3) Where, before the dissolution day, agreement has been reached between the parties concerned in settlement of a claim to which subsection (1) relates and the terms of the agreement have not been implemented, or judgment in such a claim has been given in favour of a person but has not been enforced, the terms of the agreement or judgment, as the case may be, shall, insofar as they are enforceable against the Authority be enforceable against the Council and not the Authority.

(4) Any claim made or proper to be made by the Authority in respect of any loss or injury arising from the act or default of any person before the dissolution day shall on and after that day be regarded as having been made by or proper to be made by the Council and may be pursued and sued for by the Council as if the loss or injury had been suffered by the Council.
