Land Court has power of the Supreme Court
7A Land Court has power of the Supreme Court
The Land Court has, for exercising jurisdiction conferred under this Act or another Act, all the powers of the Supreme Court, and may in a proceeding before the Land Court, in the same way and to the same extent as may be done by the Supreme Court in a similar proceeding—
grant any relief or remedy; and
make any order, including an order for attachment or committal because of disobedience to an order; and
give effect to every ground of defence or matter of set-off, whether equitable or legal.
Without limiting subsection (1), the Land Court has, in a proceeding before it, power to grant relief—
under a declaration of rights of the parties; or
under an injunction, whether interim, interlocutory or final, in the proceeding; or
by staying the proceeding or a part of the proceeding; or
by appointing a receiver including an interim receiver.
The Land Court may order that a record of, or information about, a proceeding before the Land Court must not be made available to the public.
Without limiting the things the Land Court may have regard to in deciding whether to make an order under subsection (3), the Land Court may have regard to Aboriginal tradition and Island custom.
Subsection (1) has effect subject to—
another provision of this Act; and
a provision of another Act under which jurisdiction is conferred on the Land Court.
