which involves a matter exceeding the jurisdiction of that court, then, unless an order is made under the **Courts (Case Transfer) Act 1991** transferring the proceeding to a court with jurisdiction, that court must determine all the issues raised in the proceeding that relate to the claim of the plaintiff and the defence to it and may grant relief on the counter-claim to the extent that it is within its jurisdiction to do so.
