Sec. 11. The judges of the Wayne circuit court and Wayne superior courts No. 1 and No. 2 may, with the consent of the judge of the court, transfer any action, cause, or proceeding filed and docketed in the Wayne circuit court, Wayne superior court No. 1, or Wayne superior court No. 2, to the court by transferring all original papers and instruments filed in such an action, cause, or proceeding. The action, cause, or proceeding shall be treated as if originally filed with the court. The judge of the court may, with the consent of the judge of the Wayne circuit court, Wayne superior court No. 1, or Wayne superior court No. 2, transfer any action, cause, or proceeding filed and docketed in the court, except a cause properly docketed in the small claims or minor offenses division of the court, to the Wayne circuit court, Wayne superior court No. 1, or Wayne superior court No. 2, by transferring all original papers and instruments filed in the action, cause, or proceeding. The action, cause, or proceeding shall be treated as if originally filed with the transferee court. However, if any cause, action, or proceeding transferred under this section is later transferred on change of venue to a court of another county or if any cause is appealed to the court of appeals or supreme court of Indiana, then the party taking the change of venue or appeal may have a transcript made of the proceedings in each court, certified by the clerk of that court. The transcript has the same force and effect and gives the court to which it is taken on change of venue or appeal the same jurisdiction, as though this transcript had been originally made when the cause was transferred to the transferee court.
