14 .         Things done or omitted during the transitional period

        (1)         Anything done during the transitional period that —

            (a)         did not comply with a provision of Part X; and

            (b)         would have complied with that provision if done immediately after the transitional period,

                is taken to have complied with that provision at the time it was done.

        (2)         Where —

            (a)         during the transitional period, an employer does not obtain or keep current an insurance policy under Part X for a liability of a particular kind to a particular person; and

            (b)         the employer is taken under subsection (1) to have complied with a provision of Part X requiring it to obtain or keep current such a policy,

                an insurer who has issued to the employer a liability insurance policy other than for the purposes of Part X may not reject a claim under that policy on the grounds that the claim relates to a liability for which the employer was required under Part X to insure.

        (3)         In this section a reference to doing anything includes a reference to omitting to do that thing.
