Law and context
Section 34 addresses territorial jurisdiction for a District Commission, including specified connections concerning the opposite party, cause of action and complainant. Pecuniary jurisdiction must be examined separately under the applicable rules.
Practical next step
Record where the parties reside or carry on relevant activity, where the transaction events occurred and the complainant’s location. Keep documents supporting the relied-on connection.
