(2) The validity of the decision that the first court did not have jurisdiction is not affected by the amendments made by the amending provisions. (3) That decision does not affect a recommencement of the proceedings after the commencement of the amending provisions. 4--Effect of absence of decision that court did not have jurisdiction (1) This clause applies if-- (a) before the commencement of the amending provisions, proceedings in respect of a civil matter under the Corporations Law of South Australia were commenced in a court (the first court) other than the Court; and (b) either-- (i) no court expressly decided, before the commencement of the amending provisions, whether the first court had jurisdiction in respect of the matter; or (ii) a decision of the first court, or of another court on appeal from a decision of the first court, that the first court did have jurisdiction in respect of the matter still stands at the commencement of the amending provisions. (2) For the purposes of any consideration by a court, after the commencement of the amending provisions, of whether the first court had jurisdiction in respect of the matter, the first court is taken to have had jurisdiction in respect of the matter if it would have had that jurisdiction if the amending provisions had commenced before the cause of action arose. 5--Application of section 42AA (1) In this clause-- commencement means the commencement of section 42AA; related criminal justice process decision, in relation to an offence, has the same meaning as in section 42AA.
