- DCMP3555/2000
Section 37(1) of the District Court Ordinance does not confer jurisdiction to enforce a charging order made by the Court of First Instance; section 52AB's deeming of a charging order as an equitable charge affects the nature and priority of the charge and the court's discretion in dealing with the property but does not transfer enforcement jurisdiction away from the court that made the charging order; accordingly the matter was properly transferred to and should be enforced by the Court of First Instance.
