TRUSTEE ORDINANCE - SECT 3

Application

(1) This Ordinance, except where otherwise expressly provided, applies to
trusts including, so far as this Ordinance applies thereto, executorships and
administratorships constituted or created either before or after the
commencement of this Ordinance.

(2) The powers conferred by this Ordinance on trustees are in addition to the
powers conferred by the instrument, if any, creating the trust, but those
powers, unless otherwise stated, apply if and so far only as a contrary
intention is not expressed in the instrument, if any, creating the trust, and
have effect subject to the terms of that instrument.

(3) This Ordinance does not affect the legality or validity of anything done
before the commencement of this Ordinance, except as otherwise expressly
provided. [cf. 1925 c. 19 s. 69 U.K.]
