Abolition of The Court
In 1992 the Australian Parliament passed laws which put into effect the recommendations of the committee. One of the consequences of this change was that courts in Western Australia have undertaken the work of the court under a service delivery arrangement with the Commonwealth Government. The Western Australian Magistrates Court, District Court, Supreme Court, Family Court, Children's Court and Coroner's Court all provide services to the Island as required. As a result, the utility for a separate superior court in the territory was no longer necessary.
Those legal changes provide that the Governor-General may abolish the court by way of proclamation on a future date once the last judge of the court retires.
