            (a)         that any administrator, or proposed administrator, shall not be bound by section 65; or

            (b)         that any administrator, or proposed administrator, shall not be bound by the said section 65 until after a certain time to be mentioned in the order.

        (2)         The time mentioned in any order made under subdivision (b) of subsection (1) may be extended by a subsequent order.
