3rd extension

[skomati]

hi, i am posting this question on behalf of my friend.
He got Hsmp few years ago but entered U.K after 6 months after the visa was issued. He got his 2nd extension recently with the old rules. But to meet ILR requirements, he has to go for 3rd extension. so what rules apply for the 3rd extension? i mean new rules or old rules..
thank you,

here is the question again

We are mindful of the impact that changes to the system can have on migrants who are already in the UK in Tier 1 (General) or one of its predecessors. Therefore we will put in place transitional arrangements to mitigate this impact.
