Industrial Relations Court of South Australia - Jurisdiction of The Court

Jurisdiction of The Court

The Court has both civil and criminal jurisdiction in respect of a wide range of disputes arising out of employment law. Its jurisdiction includes the interpretation of industrial awards and the determination of questions reserved by the Industrial Relations Commission and the validity of determinations by the Commission.

In most cases the Court is constituted by a single judge or industrial magistrate. Single judges also hear appeals from the decisions of industrial magistrates. The Court sits as a Full Court (usually constituted by a bench of three judges) to hear appeals from the decisions of a single judge of the Court and to consider questions of law reserved.

An appeal is available from decisions of the Full Court of the Industrial Relations Court to the Supreme Court of South Australia, with permission from the Supreme Court.

    The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, as far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the more important work of saving and restoring our forests and the great improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed.

    “But such as you and I do not seem old
    Like men who live by habit. Every day
    I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
    Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
    Or court a woman; neither enemy,
    Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
