363A: Public use of premises may be allowed before issue of code compliance certificate in some circumstances
or “The law lets people use a building before it's fully approved if it's safe, but they still need to get final approval later.”
You could also call this:

“This rule explained how an old law about building control applied to work that started or was approved before 31 March 2005, but it's not used anymore.”

Section 363B of the Building Act 2004 used to be about how Section 363 applied to building work that had been approved or started before 31 March 2005. However, this section no longer exists. It was removed on 13 March 2012. This means that the rules it contained are no longer part of the law. If you need to know about building work from before 31 March 2005, you might need to look at other parts of the Building Act or ask someone who knows about building laws.
