Transfers—exercise of transfer power
192 Transfers—exercise of transfer power
General rule
If section 193 (which deals with the criteria for transfers) is satisfied, the transferring court may transfer to the receiving court:
the transfer matter; and
if the transferring court considers it necessary or convenient—any related application (or all related applications) in the proceedings.
Cross‑jurisdictional transfers between lower courts and superior courts
However, if the transferring court is a lower court, and the transferring court considers that section 193 is satisfied in relation to the transfer of a matter referred to in subsection (1) of this section to a receiving court that is a superior court other than the relevant superior court:
the transferring court does not have the power to transfer the matter to that receiving court; but
the transferring court may:
transfer the matter to the relevant superior court; and
give the relevant superior court a recommendation that the matter be transferred to that receiving court by the relevant superior court.
