(1) From and after the effective date of
  this  act  the court of special sessions of the city of New York and the

  thereupon  the  seals,  records, papers and documents of or belonging to
  such courts shall be in the custody of the court herein established.
    (2) All actions and  proceedings  pending  in  the  court  of  special
  sessions of the city of New York and the city magistrates' courts of the
  city  of  New  York  on  the  effective  date  of  this  act  are hereby
  transferred to the court herein established in  the  counties  in  which
  such  actions  and  proceedings are then pending. All appeals pending in
  the court of special sessions of the city of New York on  the  effective
  date  of  this act shall be heard and determined in accordance with, and
  further appeal therein governed by, the provisions  of  paragraph  a  of
  section  thirty-four  of article six of the constitution and the code of
  criminal procedure.
    (3) In the event that a judgment or order was entered in the court  of
  special  sessions  of  the  city of New York or in the city magistrates'
  courts of the city of New York before the effective date of this act and
  a right of appeal existed and notice of appeal therefrom is filed  after
  the  effective  date  of  this  act,  such  appeal shall be taken to the
  appellate division of the supreme court in the  judicial  department  in
  which the court in which such judgment or order was entered was located.
  Further  appeal from a decision of the appellate division of the supreme
  court, or of an  appellate  term  thereof  if  the  initial  appeal  was
  transferred to it, shall be governed by the provisions of article six of
  the  constitution  and  the code of criminal procedure. This subdivision
  shall not affect a judgment or order entered in  the  court  of  special
  sessions  of  the city of New York before the effective date of this act
  upon an appeal from a city magistrates' court of the city of  New  York;
  in  such  cases  permissive  appeal shall lie to the court of appeals in
  accordance with the provisions of the code of criminal procedure.
    (4) No appeal, action  or  proceeding  pending  before  the  court  of
  special sessions of the city of New York or the city magistrates' courts
  of  the city of New York, or before any judge or justice of such courts,
  on the effective date of this act shall abate but such appeal, action or
  proceeding so pending shall be continued in the court herein established
  or in the appellate division of the supreme court, as the case  may  be,
  as  provided in this section and, for the purposes of the disposition of
  such actions and proceedings only, the jurisdiction of the court  herein
  established  shall  be coextensive with the jurisdiction of the court of
  special sessions of the city of New York and  the  jurisdiction  of  the
  city magistrates' courts of the city of New York. Subsequent proceedings
  in  any  such  appeal,  action  or  proceeding  shall  be  conducted  in
  accordance with the provisions of this act and such other laws as are in
  force on the effective date of this act.
    (5) The provisions of this section are subject and subordinate to  any
  conflicting  provision  of  a  chapter  of  the laws of nineteen hundred
  sixty-two known as the family court act.
