##### 23. Policies to give cover required by amending Acts (1) When any Act comes into operation which alters the insurance required to be given by a policy of insurance complying with this Act or the rights or liabilities of the Commission under any such policy, every policy of insurance which has been issued for the purpose of providing insurance required by this Act and is in force when the said Act comes into operation or at any time thereafter shall be deemed to be altered in such a manner as to comply with the requirements of this Act as from time to time amended. (2) Where, as a consequence of an alteration to which subsection (1) applies, any cause of action arising prior to the coming into operation of the Act by which that alteration was effected would not have been a cause of action had it arisen after the coming into operation of that Act, no proceedings shall be commenced or, subject to subsection (3), determined in respect of that cause of action. (3) Subsection (2) does not apply to or in relation to any cause of action in respect of which a court has given judgment, whether or not that judgment is subject to appeal.
