About this statute

This provision defines key terms and sets when Yukon courts have territorial competence, when the Supreme Court may transfer or accept proceedings, and what the Court must consider or state in transfer decisions. The Supreme Court may depart from transfer terms if it is just and reasonable, and it must not bar transferred claims on limitation-period grounds if the stated conditions are met. The Act comes into force on a day fixed by the Commissioner in Executive Council.
