8: Certain matters to be disregarded
or “Rules for determining if a company is a subsidiary of another”
You could also call this:

“Rules for managing legal changes and their effects”

The Companies Act 1993 includes a section about transitional, savings, and related provisions. These provisions are important rules that help manage changes in the law. You can find these provisions in Schedule 1AA of the Act. These rules work exactly as they are written in that schedule. This means that if you need to understand how certain changes in the law might affect you or your company, you should look at Schedule 1AA for the specific details.
