You need to know that some laws have special rules that only certain courts can deal with. If a matter involves a society, its members, or its officers, and another law says that a specific court has exclusive jurisdiction, then that court is in charge. For example, if the society is a union, the Employment Authority or the Employment Court under the Employment Relations Act 2000 might have exclusive jurisdiction. You should understand that the court with exclusive jurisdiction can make orders and act like the High Court. This means they can make decisions about the matter as if they were the High Court. They have the power to do this because of the law. Sometimes, the court with exclusive jurisdiction might think it is better for the High Court to deal with the matter. If they think this, they can order that the matter be transferred to the High Court. The High Court can then deal with the matter as if someone had asked them to. The High Court can make decisions about the matter as if it were a normal application under this Part of the law. This means they can use their usual powers to deal with the matter. They can do this after the matter has been transferred to them from the other court.
