I would say that if even one member of a party changes, it's not the same party. This is not the same as changing planks on a ship or cells in a body. Functionally, planks and cells are interchangeable. Party members aren't.
That isn't a new group. It's the same group with a different name.tonym said:Look at it this way. If every party member suddenly quit that group and formed a new group with a different name (e.g., "Party of the Iron Axe"), that new group would be a new group, even though it contains all the same members!

What if he gave the new business the same name as the old one? Legally it would still be a new business.tonym said:Imagine a guy with a business. He dissolves the business. Then he forms a new business. The new business is not merely the old business with a new name. It is a new business.
