16 When contingent remainders capable of taking effect

(1) A contingent remainder existing at any time after the commencement of this Act shall be capable of taking effect notwithstanding the want of a particular estate of freehold to support it in the same manner as it would take effect if it were a contingent remainder of an equitable estate supported by an outstanding legal estate in fee simple.

(2) A contingent remainder or a contingent interest lying between two estates vested in the same person shall prevent the merger of those two estates.
