any debts, liabilities and obligations of the old body that existed immediately before that time are taken to be the debts, liabilities and obligations of the new body; and

the new body is substituted as a party to any proceedings pending in any court to which the old body was a party immediately before that time; and

the new body is substituted as a party to any arrangement or contract entered into by or on behalf of the old body; and
