#### 45 Defence in causes removed to High Court
When a cause is removed in whole or in part from any court into the High Court, the defendant may set up by way of defence any matter that he or she might have set up if the cause had been commenced in the High Court, notwithstanding that the court from which the cause was removed did not have jurisdiction to entertain the matter of defence or could not entertain it in the same cause.
