SUPREME COURT ACT 1933 - SECT 37W

    (1)     In this section:

"superior court office", in relation to a judge of the court who holds office as a judge of a superior court of record of the Commonwealth, a State or another Territory, means the office of judge of that superior court of record.

    (2)     Subject to subsections (3) and (4), a judge is not entitled to remuneration, allowances or entitlements if the judge—

        (a)     concurrently holds a superior court office; and

        (b)     is entitled to remuneration, allowances or entitlements (as the case requires) in relation to the superior court office.

    (3)     If the amount of remuneration or allowances to which a judge would be entitled as a judge of the court if subsection (2) did not apply exceeds the remuneration or allowances (as the case may be) to which he or she is entitled in relation to his or her superior court office, the judge is entitled to receive an additional amount equal to that excess.

    (4)     If the entitlements to which a judge would be entitled as a judge of the court if subsection (2) did not apply—

        (a)     are of a type not provided for in relation to his or her superior court office; or

        (b)     are of a better quality than those provided for in relation to his or her superior court office;

the judge is entitled to receive entitlements of that type or quality.

    (5)     This section does not apply to an acting judge of the court.
