National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009

The transferring court may make a transfer under section 192 only if it appears to the transferring court, taking into account the considerations covered by subsection (2) of this section, that:

the transfer matter arises out of, or is related to, other proceedings pending, or that have come, before the receiving court; or

it is otherwise in the interests of justice that the transfer matter be determined by the receiving court.

The considerations covered by this subsection include the following:

the principal location, or place of business, of the parties in relation to the transfer matter;

where the event (or events) that are the subject of the transfer matter took place;

if the transfer matter involves secured real property—the jurisdiction in which the real property is located;

the desirability of related proceedings being heard in the same State or Territory;

any relevant recommendation received under subsection 192(2);

the suitability (taking into account the considerations referred to in paragraphs (a) to (e) and any other consideration) of having the transfer matter determined by the receiving court.
