51.(1) Subject to this section, each amendment of the Principal Act that is
made by this Act, other than the amendment of section 19 of the Principal Act

according to its tenor in relation to persons who were bankrupt at the
commencement of that amendment as it applies in relation to persons who become
bankrupt after that commencement.

(2) Section 6A of the Principal Act as amended by section 4 of this Act
applies only in respect of statements of affairs filed after the commencement
of section 4 of this Act, and section 6A of the Principal Act continues to
apply, despite its repeal, in respect of statements of affairs filed before
that commencement.

(3) Any rules in force for the purposes of section 6A of the Principal Act

   (a)  applies in respect of all meetings held after the commencement of that
        subsection; and

   (b)  in respect of a meeting to which section 64ZA of the Principal Act as
        amended by this Act does not apply because of subsection (5) of this
        section, so applies as if section 64ZA applied to that meeting.

(5) The amendments of the Principal Act made by sections 9 to 14 (inclusive)
and 17 of this Act apply only in respect of meetings convened by notices given
after the commencement of the amendments made by the section concerned and the
