Limitation of jurisdiction to review related civil proceeding decisions
9B Limitation of jurisdiction to review related civil proceeding decisions
At any time when a civil proceeding, or an appeal arising out of a civil proceeding, is taking place, no court has jurisdiction to hear, continue to hear or determine an application under this Act, by a person who is or was a party to the proceeding, in relation to a related civil proceeding decision.
In this section:
appeal includes a proceeding to review or call in question the proceedings, decision or jurisdiction of a court or judge.
civil proceeding has the same meaning as in the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004.
related civil proceeding decision, in relation to a civil proceeding, means:
a decision of the Attorney‑General to give:
notice under section 6A of the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004 in relation to the proceeding; or
a certificate under section 38F or 38H of that Act in relation to the proceeding; or
a decision of the Minister appointed by the Attorney‑General under section 6A of that Act to give:
notice under section 6A of that Act in relation to the proceeding; or
a certificate under section 38F or 38H of that Act in relation to the proceeding.
