    " (2A) Subject [b] to the provisions of any law for the time being in force in the Islands, a court established under subsection (2) shall sit in such place in the Islands as the Governor, acting in accordance with the advice of the Chief Justice, may appoint:


Provided that it may also sit in the United Kingdom, or in such place within any other part of Her Majesty's dominions as the Governor, acting in accordance with the advice of the Chief Justice and with the concurrence of the Governor of such part of Her Majesty's dominions, may appoint.

    (2B) Where a court sits, by virtue of subsection (2A) of this section, in some place other than the Islands, it may there exercise its jurisdiction and powers in like manner as if it were sitting within the Islands, but anything done there by virtue of this subsection shall have, and shall have only, the same validity and effect as if done in the Islands.

    (2C) The references in subsections (2A) and (2B) of this section to a court sitting and exercising its jurisdiction and powers in any place include references to a judge or magistrate or officer of the court exercising in that place any jurisdiction or powers or other function vested in him as such by any law for the time being in force in the Islands.".
