Location of Sittings
Under the Norfolk Island (Supreme Court Sittings) Regulations (SR150/1979) the Supreme Court may, if appropriate, sit in civil cases in New South Wales, Victoria or the ACT as well as in the Territory, but criminal cases must be dealt with in the Territory (reg. 3(1)).
An appeal lies from the Supreme Court to the Federal Court under the provisions of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976.
The Supreme Court of Norfolk Island still relies upon the Supreme Court Act 1960 (Norfolk Island) - formerly the Supreme Court Ordinance 1960 - and relies for its Rules of Court and Procedure on the Rules of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory until such time as the Norfolk Island Court decides to make any specific Supreme Court Rule on a particular matter or topic.
