You could also call this:

"Old rules still apply to some sea transport contracts made before new rules started"

If you have a contract to carry goods by sea, some old rules might still apply. You made the contract before the new rules started, and the old rules would have applied if not for the new rules. The old rules are from the Sea Carriage of Goods Act 1940, and they apply even after the new rules from section 212(1) started.

If you have a contract to carry goods by sea between New Zealand and some other islands, like the Cook Islands, Niue, or Tokelau, some old rules might still apply. You made the contract before the new rules started, and the old rules would have applied if not for the new rules. The old rules are from section 5(5) of the Carriage of Goods Act 1979, and they apply even after the new rules from section 212(2) started.
