The Supreme Court may, in its discretion, on the application of a party to a civil or criminal proceeding before an inferior court, exercise the same power to make an order of the kind referred to in section 9H(1) for the purpose of that proceeding as the Supreme Court has under that subsection for the purpose of a proceeding in the Supreme Court.

a reference to the proceeding were a reference to the proceeding in the inferior court; and
a reference to the court were a reference to the inferior court; and
in subsections (5) and (7), a reference to an order made under subsection (1) were a reference to an order made by a court by virtue of this section.
