Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Jurisdiction comes from law. Consent can select an already competent court, and Section 21 limits when some objections may be entertained, but consent cannot itself create jurisdiction.

Option feedback

Option A

The subject matter can determine whether a civil court has jurisdiction. Section 9 also recognises express and implied statutory bars.

Option B

Agreement alone does not confer jurisdiction. Parties can choose among courts that already have jurisdiction.

Option C

Pecuniary limits can determine which court may hear a suit.

Option D

Territorial rules govern where a suit may be brought.
