Validation of anticipatory use of new names
No enactment, deed or document made or executed on or after the 18th April, 1982, shall be invalid or in any way ineffective solely by reason of the fact that in such enactment, deed or document a local authority, institution, statutory body, place or area was referred to by its new name specified in the second column of the Schedule before its name was altered by or in terms of this Act.
9. Effect of changes of names
The alteration by or in terms of this Act of the name of any local authority, institution, statutory body or company shall not affect any rights or obligations of the local authority, institution, statutory body or company nor render defective any legal proceedings by or against the local authority, institution, statutory body or company, and any legal proceedings that might have been continued or commenced by or against the local authority, institution, statutory body or company under its former name may be continued or commenced by or against it, as the case may be, under its new name.
10. Saving of other laws
Nothing in this Act shall be construed as derogating from the power of any person in terms of any other law to alter the name of any local authority, institution, statutory body, company, place or area, whether or not such name has been altered by or in terms of this Act.
11. Amendment of Acts
