121.As mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, section 7C supports sections 7A and 7B by ensuring that justices of the peace, summary sheriffs, sheriffs and prosecutors have the necessary powers to deal with cases that come before a court by virtue of those sections. It also makes clear that sections 7A and 7B supplement, rather than supersede, other legal bases for a JP court taking a case from outwith its normal territorial jurisdiction (specifically those provided for in Part 1 and section 137CC of the 1995 Act, and section 62 of the 2007 Act - for example, section 137CC makes more bespoke provision permitting the transfer of cases in exceptional circumstances).
