Home Dictionary Name: untilUntil other provision is made
Until other provision is made, the provision ins. 14(b) of the 1969 Act is a temporary and transitional provision which continues until other provision is made.

In this sense the place where a person has his actual residence, inhabitancy, or commorancy, is sometimes called his domicile. In a strict and legal sense, that is properly the domicile of a person where he has his true fixed permanent home and principal establishment, and to which, whenever he is absent, he has the intention of returning (animus revertendi).Two things, then, must concur to constitute domicile: first, residence; and secondly, the intention of making it the home of the party. There must be the fact and intent; for, as Pothier has truly observed, a person cannot establish a domicile in a place except it be animo et facto.From these considerations and rules the general conclusion may be deduced, that domicile is of three sorts: domicile by birth, domicile by choice, and domicile by operation of law. The first is the ...
