After an order has been made transferring the action for trial to another court, the following proceedings must be had:

1. The justice ordering the transfer must immediately transmit to the justice of the court to which it is transferred, on payment by the party applying of all costs that have accrued, all the papers in the action, together with a certified transcript from the docket of the justice ordering the transfer of the proceedings therein.

2. Upon the receipt by the justice to whom the case is transferred of such papers, the justice has thereafter the same jurisdiction over the action as though it had been commenced in the justice’s court. The justice must issue a notice stating when and where the trial will take place, which notice must be served upon the parties at least 1 day before the time fixed for trial.
