117.2. In the month following the date on which the order for abolition or withdrawal becomes effective the clerk of the court is required to transfer all the records relating to the cases pending in the territory served by the court or, as the case may be, in the territory withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the court which had not been entered on one of the rolls of the court before the date on which the abolition or withdrawal became effective, to the offices of the courts of competent jurisdiction.
However, where a municipal court is established following the abolition of a municipal court or the withdrawal of the territory of a municipality from the jurisdiction of a municipal court, the clerk is required to transfer to the office of the municipal court so established, in the month following the date on which the order to establish the municipal court became effective, the records relating to the cases pending in the territory served by the abolished court or in the territory withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the court which had not been entered on one of the rolls of the court before the abolition or withdrawal became effective.
Where, following the abolition of its municipal court or the withdrawal of its territory from the jurisdiction of a municipal court, a municipality becomes a party to an agreement relating to an existing municipal court, the provisions of the second paragraph, adapted as required, apply.
The clerk shall notify the parties thereof.
