bill court of the county where the matter requiring the cognizance of
the court arises.

Subs.(2) rep. by 1959 c.25 (NI) s.154(3) sch.5

(3) Any proceedings which might be instituted before the civil bill court may,
at the election of the person taking such proceedings, be instituted before
the land commission, and thereupon the land commission shall, as respects such
proceedings, be deemed to be the court.

(4) Where proceedings have been commenced in the civil bill court any party
thereto may, within the prescribed period, apply to the land commission to
transfer such proceedings from the civil bill court to the land commission;
and thereupon the land commission may order the same to be transferred
accordingly.

(5) The court shall have jurisdiction in respect of all disputes between
landlords and tenants arising under this Act.

(6) In determining any question relating to a holding, the court may direct an
independent valuer to report to the court his opinion on any matter the court
may desire to refer to such valuer, such report to be accompanied with a
statement, if so directed, of all such facts and circumstances as may be
required for the purpose of enabling the court to form a judgment as to the
subject-matter of such report. The court may or may not, as it thinks fit,
adopt the report of such valuer, and it may make such order with respect to
the costs incurred in respect of such report as it thinks just.
