District Court Act 1973

Section 44 (1) (c1), as inserted by the Justice Legislation Amendment Act (No 3) 2018, is taken to have applied on and after 2 February 1998 in respect of the jurisdiction of the Court.

Accordingly, any action determined by the Court on or after 2 February 1998 that would have been within the Court’s jurisdiction to determine had section 44 (1) (c1) been in force at the time is taken to have been within the jurisdiction of the Court.

The reference in section 44 (1) (c1), as applied by this clause, to the Court’s jurisdictional limit is to be read as a reference to the amount that was the Court’s jurisdictional limit for the purposes of section 44 (1) (a) (ii) at the time concerned.
