Paragraph 16.1 Transfer to another court

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The sheriff may transfer an action to any other sheriff court, whether in the same sheriffdom or not, if the sheriff considers it expedient to do so.

(2)

If the sheriff is satisfied that the court has no jurisdiction, he may transfer the action to any sheriff court in which it appears to the sheriff that it ought to have been brought.

(3)

An action so transferred shall proceed in all respects as if it had been brought originally in the court to which it is transferred.
