The New District Courts Act expands jurisdiction across courts
The act raises the Supreme Court's maximum jurisdiction to £400 and extends district court power over land title ejectment cases up to £200. It allows remittal of probate and matrimonial questions to district court judges, enables judges to reserve and forward decisions, and outlines procedures for sending actions to other venues, paying into court, and examining debtors. It also permits cost awards for improper venue notices and sets rules for district court quorum and creditor examinations.
