SECTION THREE: TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
157. Subject to the following paragraphs, these rules apply to all decisions taken on or after 1 March 1980.

The fact that the person concerned has become over age for purposes of paragraphs 43 and 44 of HC 79 and paragraphs 38 and 39 of HC 81 is not in itself to be a change of circumstances within the meaning of paragraph 12(b) of HC 79 and paragraph 10(b) of HC 81 where he was under age for these purposes when the application for entry clearance was made; nor does it of itself form a basis for refusal of an entry clearance where he was under age at the time the application for entry clearance was made.

Where a person who, before 1 March 1980, had a limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom on or for marriage, for approved employment (including employment as a trainee and employment as a student employee), for a working holiday, to set up in business, as a self-employed person or as a person of independent means applies to stay for a further limited period in the same capacity, that application will be decided under the provisions of HC 80 or HC 82 as appropriate and not under the corresponding provisions of these rules.
