Article 14 Transfer of proceedings from one magistrates’ court to another

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

A magistrates’ court (the “transferring court”) may transfer proceedings to another magistrates’ court (the “receiving court”) only if the transferring court considers that—

(a)

the transfer will significantly accelerate the determination of the proceedings;

(b)

it is more convenient for the parties or for the child who is the subject of the proceedings for the proceedings to be dealt with by the receiving court; or

(c)

there is another good reason for the proceedings to be transferred.
