Commencement. 49. This Act may be cited as the Adoption Act (Northern Ireland) 1967. 1. Section 17(3) shall apply in relation to an adoption order made under the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 or under the Adoption Act 1950 as it applies to an adoption order within the meaning of this Act. 2.(1) In relation to the devolution of any property on the intestacy of a person dying before the date of the commencement of this Act, or to any disposition made before that date, sections 9 and 10 of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 shall continue to apply as if this Act had not been passed. (2) Section 19(2) shall not apply in relation to a disposition made by will or codicil executed before the commencement of this Act unless the will or codicil is confirmed by codicil executed after the commencement of this Act, and any will or codicil made before the commencement of this Act and not confirmed by codicil executed after the commencement of this Act shall, for the purposes of section 18(1) and section 19(2), be treated as a disposition made before the commencement of this Act and accordingly section 9 and section 10 of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 shall continue to apply in relation thereto as if this Act had not been passed. 3. Any register kept under any provision of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950, or any enactment repealed by that Act, and any index to such a register, shall be deemed to be part of the register or index kept under the corresponding provision of this Act. 4.(1) Section 25(1) and (2) shall apply in relation to an adoption order made under the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950, or any enactment repealed by that Act, as they apply in relation to an adoption order made under this Act, but as if in paragraph (b) of the said subsection (1) there were substituted, for any reference to a provision of this Act, a reference to the corresponding provision of the said Act of 1950. (2) The power of the court under section 25(1) to amend an order to which that subsection applies by virtue of the foregoing sub-paragraph includes power to make, on the application of the adopter or of the adopted person, any such amendment of the particulars contained in the order as appears to be required to bring the order into the form in which it would have been if section 24 had applied to the order, subject to the modification that, where the application relates to an order in which the surname of the adopted person is not specified, the name which was his surname one year after the date of the order may be added in the said particulars instead of the adopter's (if different), notwithstanding anything in section 24(2). 5. The provisions of this Act have effect in relation to an adoption society registered under Part II of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950, as if it were registered under Part V of this Act. 6. Where at the commencement of this Act a child in respect of whom a licence has been granted under section 23(3) of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 has not been transferred abroad, section 37 shall not prevent that transfer. 7. Any interim order made in respect of any infant under the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 and in force at the commencement of this Act shall continue in force as if it had been made under this Act. 8. Any proceedings pending at the commencement of this Act under the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 may be continued under the corresponding provision of this Act. 1950 c.26 1950 c.6
