\par This matter comes before the Court by way of a Summons seeking to transfer these proceedings to the High Court at Suva.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15400978\charrsid9510035  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid2168526\charrsid9510035 The dominant basis for transfer is that Action No. 430 of 2003 Lautoka was \'93transferred\'94 to Suva in December 2003.
\par 
\par In this matter I have read the affidavits filed by the parties with respect of t
he transfer and I have heard counsel for both parties and I have made inquiries at the registry at Suva where the Senior Court Officer, Mr. C.D. Singh perused the file and advised me that the file contained no Order transferring Action No. 430 of 2003 Lau
toka to Suva and that it therefore remains a Lautoka file and will return to this court for hearing.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15400978\charrsid9510035  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid2168526\charrsid9510035 
The file was remitted to the High Court at Suva for the hearing of a Notice of Motion only as there was no Judge available at this court at that time.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15400978\charrsid9510035  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid2168526\charrsid9510035 
\par 
\par The material before me and the submissions made in this matter, shows that the parties and the witnesses in this matter reside in the Western Division and clearly the cause of action arose in this division.}{

proceedings that may or may not proceed and if they do that those proceedings have been filed in the High Court at Suva.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15400978\charrsid9510035  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid2168526\charrsid9510035 Those proceedings are in a category quite separate from proceedings No. 430 of 2003 and the present proceedings.
\par 
\par For the reasons that I have given, I therefore decline to transfer this matter to Suva and I dismiss the Summons.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid15400978\charrsid9510035
