The court transferred the action and the defendants' counterclaims to the District Court because all claims (including adverse possession claims and the plaintiff's waived or unsupported high-value damages) were within the District Court's jurisdiction; section 43(3) requires transfer unless exceptional importance or complexity is shown, which was not established, and considerations of court resources and lack of evidence of high quantum supported transfer.
