SECTION 15AC

15AC CHANGES TO STYLE NOT TO AFFECT MEANING
Where:

(a) an Act has expressed an idea in a particular form of words; and

(b) a later Act appears to have expressed the same idea in a different form of words for the purpose of using a clearer style;

the ideas shall not be taken to be different merely because different forms of words were used.
