Section 16 of the Canterbury Earthquakes Insurance Tribunal Act 2019 authorises transfer of the entire court proceeding, including third-party claims, where the plaintiffs' claim meets eligibility and the transfer is in the interests of justice; the Court ordered transfer because transfer furthers the interests of justice and the limitations on costs in the Tribunal do not by themselves amount to disqualifying prejudice.
