296 Contractual rights etc. are unaffected

Without limiting section 295 and to remove any doubt, it is declared that the continuation of a local government under that section—

(a) does not place the local government in breach of contract or otherwise make it guilty of a civil wrong; and
(b) does not make the local government in breach of any instrument, including, for example, an instrument prohibiting, restricting or regulating the assignment or transfer of any right or liability; and
(c) is not taken to fulfil a condition—
(i) allowing a person to terminate an instrument or liability or modify the operation or effect of an instrument or liability; or
(ii) requiring any amount to be paid before its stated maturity; and
(d) does not release a surety or other obligee, in whole or part, from an obligation; and
(e) does not negate any decision made by the local government.
