Article 4 Composition, distribution of business and authorisations

A court which was before the transfer day validly composed for transferred proceedings under rules of court or other legislation applicable to those proceedings shall remain validly composed for those transferred proceedings on and after the transfer day as if those rules or other legislation had remained in force, or were still applicable as the case may be.

Any decision as to the allocation of transferred proceedings which was made in relation to those proceedings before the transfer day in accordance with rules of court or other legislation applicable to the allocation of transferred proceedings shall apply to the transferred proceedings as if those rules of court or other legislation remained in force.

Where a judge of the family court was immediately before the transfer day authorised to conduct business in an original court, that authorisation will remain valid in relation to that business in the family court unless and until it is removed or replaced on and after the transfer day.
