Amended

Last amended by an amending law of 2024.

(1)

Where any claim, counterclaim or set-off and counterclaim in proceedings before a tribunal is or includes a claim or matter not within the tribunal’s jurisdiction (called in this section the non-relevant claim), the tribunal may, on its own motion or on the application of any party in the proceedings, order that the whole proceedings, or the proceedings on the non-relevant claim, be transferred to the appropriate court.

(2)

Where an order is made under subsection (1) and the tribunal gives judgment to the claimant in proceedings related to the claim or matter in which the tribunal has jurisdiction, enforcement of the judgment is to be stayed until the proceedings transferred to the appropriate court have been concluded, unless that court at any time orders otherwise.
