Commencement Part 2: Leasehold Reform
425.The provisions of Part 2 of the Act will be brought into force by commencement orders made by the Secretary of State, as they apply to England, and the National Assembly for Wales, as they apply to Wales.  Commencement orders may bring all provisions into force, or may bring only certain provisions into force.  Different provisions may be brought into force on different dates.
426.Commencement orders may also make arrangements for how the new provisions interact with existing law.  For example, they may provide that where proceedings have been started under existing law, the existing law will continue to apply to those proceedings until they are concluded.
