9. The councils of two or more local municipalities and that of a regional county municipality may each adopt a by-law to authorize the making of an agreement regarding the delegation to the regional county municipality of the authority to establish a common municipal court and regarding the establishment of the court.

Where only one of the local municipalities which adopt such a by-law has established a local municipal court to serve its territory, the agreement may provide that the court becomes the common municipal court, on the conditions which are provided therein.

Where local municipalities which adopt such a by-law have established a common municipal court which does not exercise its jurisdiction over the territory of any other municipality, the agreement may provide for the transfer of the administration of the common municipal court to the regional county municipality, on the conditions provided in the agreement.

In the cases described in the second and third paragraphs, the clerk and, where applicable, the deputy clerk and the replacement clerk appointed in the chief-place of the municipal court established prior to the agreement become, without any other formality, clerk, deputy clerk and replacement clerk, respectively, in the chief-place of the common municipal court the administration of which is under the jurisdiction of the regional county municipality.
