(b)paragraph 8 or 9 (as the case may be) of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of that Schedule is to continue to apply in relation to the request without being subject to those amendments.
(3) The saving in paragraph (2) ceases to apply in relation to the request if-

(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 10 of the Mobile Homes Act 2013 (implied terms: removal of requirement for site owner consent to sale of gift), which amends Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (and makes a consequential amendment to section 3 of that Act), comes into force on 26th May 2013. This Order makes saving provisions in relation to Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the 1983 Act so that where, prior to 26th May, an occupier of a mobile home has served a request on a site owner for the approval of the person to whom the occupier proposes to sell or gift the mobile home, the transaction may proceed (if the occupier so wishes) under the existing statutory provisions.
