Telecommunication
[CAP. 106
29
(2) Without derogation from the provisions of section 40 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance (Cap. 1) an order under this section may provide that it shall be a condition of any exemption granted thereunder that the person or class of persons to whom it is granted shall not directly or indirectly fix, levy or make payable, any charge for any service, facility or circuit in respect of which the exemption is made greater than such charge as may, from time to time, be specified by the Authority by order in the Gazette. (Added 69 of 1983 s. 6)
40. Transitional provisions
(1) Any licence granted under the repealed Telecommunication Ordinance (18 of 1936) by the Governor in Council that is in force at the commencement of this Ordinance shall be deemed to have been granted by the Governor in Council under and in accordance with this Ordinance.
(2) Any telecommunication line or post lawfully placed and maintained in, over or upon any land under the repealed Telecommunication Ordinance (18 of 1936) at the commencement of this Ordinance shall be deemed to be placed and maintained in, over or upon the said land under and in accordance with this Ordinance.
41. Validation
For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that where at any time before the commencement of the Telecommunication (Amendment) Ordinance 1982 (57 of 1982) the Authority granted any licence in purported exercise of its powers under section 7 relating to a broadcast relay station or closed circuit television, such grant shall not be invalid by reason only that any such licence was not at that time a licence specified in the second column of the First Schedule to the Telecommunication Regulations (Cap. 106 sub. leg.).
