(1) A disclaimer takes effect if, and only if:

(a) in a case where only one application under section 568B for an order setting aside the disclaimer, or each of 2 or more such applications, is made within the period that that section prescribes for making the application—the application, or each of the applications, is unsuccessful; or

(b) no such application is so made.

(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), an application under section 568B is successful if, and only if, the result of the application, and all appeals (if any) arising out of the application, being finally determined or otherwise disposed of is an order setting aside the disclaimer (whether or not further orders are also made).

(3) A disclaimer that takes effect because of subsection (1) is taken to have taken effect on the day after:
