Section 76 — District Court Act 2016: Jurisdiction in equity

76 Jurisdiction in equity (1) Subject to other provisions in this Act, the court has the same equitable jurisdiction as the High Court. (2) However, the court does not have jurisdiction under subsection (1) to hear and determine a proceeding in which the amount claimed or the value of the property that is the subject of the proceeding exceeds $350,000. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if an enactment (other than section 12 of the Senior Courts Act 2016) expressly provides that the proceeding is a proceeding or class of proceeding that another court has jurisdiction to hear and determine. (4) Despite subsection (3), the court may make orders under section 49 of the Administration Act 1969. Compare: 1947 No 16 s 34(1)(a), (2), (2A)
