Section 59(1) preserves the District Court's jurisdiction to continue and dispose of matters or proceedings which it has 'heard or commenced to hear' prior to the amendment; 'heard or commenced to hear' includes interlocutory applications and steps in the action; because relevant interlocutory matters were heard and concluded before 19/12/81 these actions must proceed under the pre-existing law and the new Section 53A does not apply to them.
