Section 103 Regulations as to declinature of jurisdiction.

It shall not be deemed a ground of declinature of jurisdiction that the judge (whether in the Court of Session or in any of the inferior courts) is a partner in any joint stock company carrying on as its sole or principal business the business of life and fire or life assurance, where such company is a party to the proceeding in which the judge is called to exercise his jurisdiction; and it shall not be deemed a ground of declinature of jurisdiction that any such judge is possessed, merely as a trustee, of any stock or shares in any incorporated company, where such company is a party to the proceeding.
