Local jurisdiction

(1) Where several authorities have local jurisdiction, the authority first seized of the matter decides, unless the common supervisory authority determines that another locally competent authority is to decide. This supervisory authority further decides on local jurisdiction where several authorities consider themselves competent or not competent, or where jurisdiction is otherwise doubtful. Where there is no common supervisory authority, the supervisory authorities take the decision jointly.
(2) Where, in the course of the administrative procedure, the circumstances establishing jurisdiction change, the authority previously competent may continue the administrative procedure, where this serves the simple and expedient conduct of the procedure, having regard to the interests of the parties, and the authority now competent consents.
(3) Where local jurisdiction has changed, the authority previously competent must continue to render the benefits until they are continued by the authority now competent. The latter must, on demand, reimburse the authority previously competent for the benefits still rendered after the change of jurisdiction. Section 102(2) applies correspondingly.
(4) Where there is danger in delay, every authority in whose district the occasion for the official act arises has local jurisdiction for measures that cannot be deferred. The authority with local jurisdiction under the special parts of this Code is to be informed without delay.
