Transfer of cause where ground of complaint has arisen out of jurisdiction of the court

(1) If on the hearing of any complaint it appears that the ground of complaint arose beyond the limits of the jurisdiction of the court before which the complaint has been made, the court may, on being satisfied that it has no jurisdiction, direct the matter to be transferred to the court having jurisdiction where the ground of complaint arose. (2) If the defendant is in custody and the magistrate directing the transfer thinks it expedient that the custody should be continued or, if he is not in custody, that he should be placed in custody, the magistrate shall direct him to be taken by a police officer before the magistrate having jurisdiction where the cause of the complaint arose, and shall give a warrant for that purpose to the police officer, and deliver to him the complaint and recognisance, if any, taken by the magistrate under the provisions of this Act, to be delivered to the magistrate before whom the defendant is to be taken, and the complaint and recognisance, if any, shall be treated to all intents and purposes as if they had been taken by the last- mentioned magistrate. (3) If the defendant is not continued or placed in custody, the magistrate shall inform the defendant that he has directed the transfer of the matter as aforesaid, and thereupon the provisions of subsection (2) of this section, respecting the transmission and use of the documents in the matter, shall apply.
