§ 36. No civil or criminal appeal, action or proceeding pending before
any court or any judge or justice on the effective date of this article
shall abate but such appeal, action or proceeding so pending shall be
continued in the courts as provided in this article and, for the
purposes of the disposition of such actions or proceedings only, the
jurisdiction of any court to which any such action or proceeding is
transferred by this article shall be coextensive with the jurisdiction
of the former court from which the action or proceeding was transferred.
Except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of this article,
subsequent proceedings in such appeal, action or proceeding shall be
conducted in accordance with the laws in force on the effective date of
this article until superseded in the manner authorized by law.
