15F .         Continuity of institutions: institution substantially the same

        (1)         For the purposes of sections 15B, 15D and 15H(4)(a), it is sufficient that an institution (as it is currently) is substantially the same as it was at the time when the cause of action accrued (the relevant time ).

        (2)         Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), an institution (as it is currently) is substantially the same as it was at the relevant time if the class or type of member and the primary purposes or work of the institution (as it is currently) are substantially the same as they were at the relevant time.

        (3)         Subsections (1) and (2) have effect regardless of whether, after the relevant time —

            (a)         the name of the institution changed;

            (b)         the organisational structure of the institution changed;

            (c)         the institution became incorporated;

            (d)         the geographic area in which the members of the institution carried out the purposes or work of the institution changed.
