Accrued rights to promotion already earned under the earlier bye-laws were preserved, but a bare chance of promotion or an ungranted relaxation was not. Existing employees could continue to rely on the earlier superannuation age where that condition had already governed their service, and employees already qualified under the old rules could claim promotion to one higher post, subject to the limits of the protected pre-existing entitlement.
