(1) On the commencement of this Act, there
shall be transferred to and vested in the Institute all the assets and
liabilities of the dissolved company.
(2) The assets of the dissolved company shall
be deemed to include all rights and powers, and all property, whether movable
or immovable of the company, including, in particular, cash balances, reserve
funds, investments, deposits and all other interests and rights in or arising
out of such property as may be in the possession of the dissolved company and
all books of accounts or documents of the dissolved company and the liabilities
shall be deemed to include all debts, liabilities and obligations of whatever
kind then existing of that company.
(3) All contracts, debts, bonds, agreements
and other instruments of whatever nature to which the dissolved company is a
party, subsisting or having effect immediately before the commencement of this
Act, shall be of as full force and effect against or in favor of the Institute,
as the case may be, and may be enforced as fully and effectively as if instead
of the dissolved company, the Institute had been a party thereto.
(4) If, on the commencement of this Act, any
suit, appeal or other legal proceeding of whatever nature by or against the
dissolved company is pending, the same shall not abate, be discontinued or be
in any way prejudicially affected by reason of the transfer to the Institute of
the assets and liabilities of the dissolved company or of any thing contained
in this Act, but the suit, appeal or other proceeding may be continued,
prosecuted and enforced by or against the Institute, in the same manner and to
the same extent as it would or may be continued, prosecuted and enforced by or
against the dissolved company if this Act had not been passed.
