Land Court Act 2000

The Chief Justice must, from time to time, nominate a Supreme Court judge (who may be the Chief Justice) to act as a member of the Land Appeal Court at Brisbane.

The Supreme Court judge who is the member of the Land Appeal Court outside Brisbane is—

for the Central Region of the Supreme Court—the Central Judge, within the meaning of the Supreme Court of Queensland Act 1991; and

for the Northern Region of the Supreme Court—the Northern Judge, within the meaning of the Supreme Court of Queensland Act 1991; and

for the Far Northern Region of the Supreme Court—the Far Northern Judge, within the meaning of the Supreme Court of Queensland Act 1991.

Note—See the Supreme Court of Queensland Act 1991, part 4, division 3.

If the parties to an appeal, or a referral of a question of law, to the Land Appeal Court agree, the appeal may be heard, or the question of law decided, in a region other than the region in which the land, the subject of the appeal or the referral, is situated.

If, at any time, a Supreme Court judge who is a member of the Land Appeal Court is unable to carry out the duties of member, the Chief Justice must nominate another Supreme Court judge to act as a member of the Land Appeal Court.
