PRIZE COURTS ACT 1915 - SECT 3

Supplemental powers of prize courts.

3.(1) Where a prize court under this Act orders the remission of any
proceedings, or declares that any order or decree is enforceable by another
prize court, the first-mentioned court may order the subject-matter of the
proceedings, or of the order or decree, to be removed, in such manner and
subject to such conditions as the court thinks fit, into the jurisdiction of
the other court, and, where any such order of removal is made, either court
may direct that any expenses incurred in the removal shall be borne by the
cargo or any part of the cargo or the ship [or the aircraft] in such manner as
the court thinks proper.

(2) For the purpose of the voyage of a ship [or aircraft] from the
jurisdiction of one court to that of another under such an order of removal,
the ship [or aircraft], if not a British ship [or aircraft] shall be treated
as if it were a British ship registered in the United Kingdom.

(3) The power of His Majesty in Council to make rules for regulating the
procedure and practice of prize courts shall extend to making rules for
carrying this Act into effect.

(4) The powers conferred by this Act are without prejudice to any other powers
which the High Court in England may possess for the like purposes
independently of this Act, and to the obligation imposed on prize courts by
section nine of the Naval Prize Act, 1864.
