(a) all proceedings (including proceedings before a registrar or any other officer of the Court) pending before the Court at that place, and
(b) any unsatisfied judgment or order of the Court in proceedings the proper place in relation to which was that place,
may be continued or enforced by the Court sitting at such other place as may be specified in the proclamation, and the proceedings shall, if continued, be continued accordingly or the judgment or order enforced accordingly, as the case may require.
(2) The Governor may, in any such proclamation, direct that the records of the Court at the place that has so ceased to be a proclaimed place shall be removed at or within a time stated in the proclamation to the registry for the other place specified therein.
(3) A direction under subsection (1) shall, for the purposes of the definition of
