No appeal lies to the Court of Appeal from a decision of the Industrial Court in workers' compensation matters under s 561 of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 (Qld). The enactment of s 554 of the Industrial Relations Act 2016 (Qld), which widened appeal rights from the Industrial Court generally, did not override the specific finality provision in s 561(4). Section 561(2) engages the Industrial Relations Act only for the purpose of the appeal to the Industrial Court, not for any further appeal from it.
