	(2)	Costs in proceedings referred to in subsection (1) shall be allowed—
	(a)	in relation to costs incurred before the relevant order under section 381 was made (including the costs of obtaining the order) and the costs of obtaining the copies referred to in subsection (1)—subject to any order of the Supreme Court and to subsection (3), in accordance with the Supreme Court Rules; and

384	Stay of proceedings

3	Legislation history
This Act was originally a Commonwealth ordinance—the Court of Petty Sessions (Civil Jurisdiction) Ordinance 1982 No 54 (Cwlth).  It was renamed as the Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) Ordinance 1982 by the Magistrates Court Ordinance 1985 No 67 (see sch).
The ACT Self-Government (Consequential Provisions) Act 1988 No 109 (Cwlth), s 12) converted some former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on 1 July 1990.
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name was changed from Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989 No 21, s 5 on its conversion to an ACT enactment on 1 July 1990.
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 12).
After 11 May 1989 and before 10 November 1999, Acts commenced on their notification day unless otherwise stated (see Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth) s 25).
