The Australian Court System
High Court of Australia
The highest court in Australia is the 'Federal Supreme Court,
also known as the High Court of Australia'. The Australian
Constitution requires that there shall be a Chief Justice and
not less than two other Justices of the High Court. Today there
are six other Justices. Initially, Justices were appointed for
life. An amendment was made to the Australian Constitution in
1977 which limits the terms of Justices appointed after that
date such that they retire at seventy years of age. Any
constitutional links between Australia and the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including the avenue of
appeal from State courts exercising State jurisdiction to the
Privy Council, were abolished by the Australia Act of 1986. This
does not, make any changes to the position of the Monarch of UK
in their capacity as the Monarch of Australia.
The Federal Court of Australia
This Court was created by the Federal Court of Australia Act
1976 and began to exercise its jurisdiction on 1 February 1977.
This Court sits in each State, in the Australian Capital
Territory and the Northern Territory. The Federal Court
has such jurisdiction as permitted by laws made by the
Commonwealth Parliament, including, for example, in relation to
matters in which a writ of mandamus or prohibition or an
injunction is sought against an officer of the Commonwealth
Government, in bankruptcy, corporations law, industrial
relations, taxation and trade practices law. The Federal Court
is also a court of disputed returns in respect of elections
under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Act
1989. The Federal Court of Australia also has appellate
jurisdiction over the decisions of single judges of the Court,
decisions of the respective Supreme Courts of the Australian
Territories, except the Northern Territory, and certain
decisions of State Supreme Courts when exercising federal
jurisdiction.
The Family Court of Australia
The Family Law Act 1975, became effective on 5 January 1976.
This law deals with the dissolution and nullity of marriage,
custody and welfare of the children, maintenance and the
settlement of property between the parties to a marriage in
Australia.
This Act provides that irretrievable breakdown of a marriage
is the only grounds of divorce. This ground is established if
the husband and wife have lived separately and apart from each
other (including separation under the same roof) for twelve
months and there is no reasonable likelihood of their
reconciliation. The Family Law Act also deals with the
guardianship, custody and access to and maintenance of
ex-nuptial children and provides jurisdiction for the settling
of disputes between divorced persons in respect of their
property and for maintenance of spouses where this is
appropriate. There is also separate child support legislation
providing basis for calculation and enforcement of maintenance
of children. The Child Support Agency, established in 1988 as
part of the Australian Taxation Office, administers the Child
Support Scheme, by which maintenance is assessed on the ability
of both parents to pay, and payment of court ordered maintenance
enforced by allowing for deductions to be made directly from
salaries and wages.
Industrial Relations Court of Australia
This court was established in March 1994 and deals with
industrial relations matters, such as the interpretation and
enforcement of industrial awards and certified agreements and
the regulation of various matters relating to unions. However
Legislation effective May 1997 transferred the jurisdiction of
the Industrial Relations Court to the Federal Court.
The Federal Magistrates Court
This Court was established by the Federal Magistrates Act 1999.
This court is an independent federal court under the
Constitution. The Federal Magistrates jurisdiction includes
family law and child support, administrative law, bankruptcy law
and consumer protection law. This jurisdiction is shared with
the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Court of Australia
and in some areas state courts.
State and Territory Courts
In Australia State and Territory courts have original
jurisdiction for all matters under State or Territory laws, and
in issues concerning federal laws, where jurisdiction has been
conferred on the courts by the Commonwealth Parliament. Most
criminal matters, whether arising under Commonwealth, State or
Territory law, are dealt with by State or Territory courts.
Every Australian State and inhabited Territory, except the
Australian Antarctic Territory and the Jervis Bay Territory, has
its own court system consisting of a Supreme Court, in many
jurisdictions an intermediate court - generally known as the
District or County Courts - and local courts of summary
jurisdiction. In some cases States have also established
specialist courts that exercise jurisdiction limited by subject
matter.
State and Territory Supreme Courts
Australian States and Territories have their own Supreme Courts.
These deal with final civil litigation and the most serious
criminal cases. These courts have appellate jurisdiction over
the lower State courts. A Full Court of a Supreme Court can hear
appeals from a decision of the Supreme Court when constituted by
a single Judge.
State and Territory Intermediate Courts:
These courts decide a majority of serious criminal offences
where a jury is required. They also decide on civil litigation
having certain monetary limits.
State and Territory Courts of Summary Jurisdiction
These courts deal with ordinary (summary) offences, such as
traffic infringements, minor assaults, street offences, civil
litigation for debt recovery, smaller claims by one citizen
against another or against a company, as well as certain
maintenance, custody and property disputes under jurisdiction
conferred by the Family Law Act. These courts are presided over
by a magistrate and juries are not used in these courts.
Small Claims Courts
Small claims courts deal with minor legal disputes and have a
more informal structure. These courts have a limitation on any
recovery of costs. In some jurisdictions legal representation is
only permitted by agreement between all parties involved. |
