Power to deal with ship or other property
30 Power to deal with ship or other property
This section applies where:
a proceeding has been transferred or remitted under the preceding provisions of this Part; and
a ship or other property is under arrest in the proceeding.
The court from which the proceeding was transferred or remitted:
may deal with the ship or property as though it were under arrest in a proceeding that had not been so transferred or remitted; and
may make such orders as are necessary or convenient for transferring the custody of the ship or property to the court to which the proceeding has been so transferred or remitted.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an order made under subsection (2) has effect according to its tenor.
Where a court has made an order under paragraph (2)(b), the court to which the proceeding has been transferred or remitted has the same powers in relation to the ship or property as it has in relation to a ship or other property under arrest in a proceeding commenced in that court.
