695.   Objection to jurisdiction

  1.  

    (1)   A person shall not impugn in any proceedings or in any other manner, any order made by the Court on the hearing of a complaint on the ground that the Court had no jurisdiction to make the order unless such objection was taken at the hearing of the complaint before the order was made by the Court.

  1.  

    (2)   If the objection is that the cause of complaint or the matter did not arise within the limits of the jurisdiction of the Court, and if the Court is so satisfied, it may transfer the case or proceedings to the Court having jurisdiction, and may in such case give any necessary directions.

  1.  

    (3)   No complaint or other proceedings shall be deemed objectionable or insufficient, because it does not contain words stating the jurisdiction or district of the Court, but the Court may allow or order any amendments in that respect, if it considers it necessary to do so, and if it is not satisfied that it has jurisdiction, shall proceed to satisfy itself in such manner and upon such evidence as it thinks fit, whether it has jurisdiction or not.

Objections not Admissible. Amendment. Particulars. Adjournment.
