        (b)     the renewal of a person's provisional registration for longer than the maximum period prescribed for the old law, section 48 (2);

        (c)     the renewal of a person's full registration, despite the person not satisfying the eligibility requirement for section 32 (1) (b).

    (2)     The registration of the person is taken to be, and always have been, valid as if the issue or renewal of the registration had been validly done.

    (3)     To remove any doubt, anything done or omitted to be done before the commencement day in reliance on the person being registered, either by the person or in relation to the person, is taken to be, and always have been, validly done or omitted to be done.
