Section 501-248 - Jurisdiction for matters pertaining to leasehold time share interests

The land court shall have jurisdiction over all matters relating to instruments required by this part to be registered pursuant to this chapter.

The circuit court shall have jurisdiction, pursuant to section [ 603-21.5(a)(3) ], over:

(1) All matters relating to instruments required by this part to be recorded pursuant to chapter 502;

(2) All other matters pertaining to a leasehold time share interest (except those in which jurisdiction is vested in the land court pursuant to this section); and

(3) All matters as to which jurisdiction would otherwise lie in the land court in part and in the circuit court in part.
