Enforcement of judgments against Crown
11 Enforcement of judgments against Crown
A writ, warrant or similar process is not to be issued out of a court to enforce a judgment against the Territory Crown or the Crown in right of a State.
If a final judgment is given against the Territory Crown or the
Crown in right of a State, unless the court orders otherwise, the registrar of the court shall, at the expiration of the period during which an appeal may be lodged, transmit a copy of the judgment to the
Administrator, the Governor of the State or, in the case of the
Australian Capital Territory, the Chief Minister of that Territory, as the case may be.
If the Administrator receives a final judgment from a court, including of a State, the Administrator shall give directions as to the manner in which the judgment is to be satisfied.
A Minister, agency or instrumentality of the Territory Crown to which a direction is given under subsection (3) is authorised and required to carry out the direction.
A direction under this section is sufficient authority for payment from the public moneys of the Territory and the appropriation for that purpose is established or increased to the extent necessary.
