- High Court
The amended application is a permissible refinement of the original application because its essence remains unchanged; the amendments narrow and clarify the specified area and broaden beneficiaries in a way that does not convert the claim into a fundamentally different cause of action; the Court's statutory and procedural flexibility permits the amendment subject to compliance with the Act's notification and service provisions to avoid prejudice to interested parties.
