| (1) | In an action in which the sum claimed does not exceed the jurisdiction of a court and is the balance of an account, the court may enquire into and hear evidence upon the whole account, even though that account relates to items and transactions exceeding the jurisdiction of a court. |
| (2) | Where the amount claimed or other relief sought does not exceed the jurisdiction of a court, the court shall not be deprived of that jurisdiction merely because it is necessary for the court, in order to arrive at a decision, to give a finding upon a matter beyond its jurisdiction. |
| (3) | In determining whether a claim falls within the jurisdiction of a court, no claim for interest on a principal sum claimed or for costs or for general or alternative relief shall be taken into account. |
