183 Change of name of entity (1) If a law changes the name of an entity established under a law, the entity continues in existence under the new name and its identity is not affected by the change. (2) If the name of an entity is changed, a reference in a law to the entity by its previous name is taken, after the change, to be a reference to the entity by its new name. (3) To remove any doubt, subsection (2) applies to all entities, whether or not in or for the Territory, including entities established under a law of another jurisdiction. Note Another jurisdiction means the Commonwealth, a State, another Territory, the United Kingdom or New Zealand (see dict, pt 2).
