If, in demand procedures involving an application for a demand for payment that is filed with a court clerk of a designated summary court, a lawful objection to a demand is lodged against the relevant demand for payment, an action is deemed to have been filed, at the time that the application for the demand for payment was filed and regarding the claim that the objection concerns, with the summary court as provided for in Article 383, to which the court clerk issuing the demand for payment belongs, or the summary court separately provided for by the Rules of the Supreme Court as referred to in the preceding Article, or with the district court of jurisdiction in the locality of either such summary court, depending on the value of the subject matter of the claim.
In a case as referred to in the preceding paragraph, if there are two or more applicable summary or district courts as prescribed in that paragraph, and the summary court as provided for in Article 383, paragraph (1) or the district court of jurisdiction in that locality is among them, the action regarding the claim that the objection concerns is deemed to have been filed there, and if neither of the courts is among them, the action for that claim is deemed to have been filed with the summary court of jurisdiction in the place specified in paragraph (2), item (i) of that Article or the district court of jurisdiction for that locality.
