Corporations (Victoria) Act 1990

This section applies if—

before the jurisdiction commencement, proceedings in respect of a civil matter under the Corporations Law of Victoria were commenced in a court (the first court) other than the Court; and

the first court, or another court on appeal from a decision of the first court, decided before the jurisdiction commencement that the first court did not have jurisdiction in respect of the matter; and

the decision that the first court did not have jurisdiction still stands at the jurisdiction commencement; and

the first court would have had jurisdiction in respect of the matter if the jurisdiction amendments had commenced before the cause of action arose.

The validity of the decision that the first court did not have jurisdiction is not affected by the jurisdiction amendments.

That decision does not affect a recommencement of the proceedings after the jurisdiction commencement.
