Without affecting paragraph 1 or subparagraph 1, any petition for a company's winding up or the appointment of an examiner to a company not disposed of before the commencement of the corresponding provision of this Act may be continued and heard under the respective provision. Similarly, any act, application, or proceeding in any such matter initiated but not finished before the corresponding provision of this Act is commenced may be so done, proceeded with, or heard.
