10 Jurisdiction of Magistrates

(1) Every Magistrate may do alone any act and exercise alone any power or jurisdiction which:

(a) under any law in force at the commencement of the Justices (Amendment) Act 1947 may be done or exercised by any Police Magistrate, Justice or Justices, howsoever sitting and adjudicating or acting, or

(b) under any law not containing an express enactment to the contrary made after such commencement may be done or exercised by any Justice or Justices howsoever sitting and adjudicating or acting.

And all the provisions of this or any other Act auxiliary to the jurisdiction of such Justice or Justices shall be applicable also to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate.

(2) Such authority and jurisdiction shall extend and apply to cases where the act or jurisdiction is, or hereafter may be, required to be done or exercised by a Justice or Justices sitting or acting as a Local Court held:

(a) at a particular place, or

(b) within a particular district,

being a place or district, as the case may be, appointed under section 6 (1) of the Local Courts Act 1982 as well as to cases where the act or jurisdiction is not so required to be done or exercised.
Any enactment authorising or requiring persons to be summoned or to appear by or before a Justice or Justices sitting or acting as a Local Court held as referred to in subsection (2) shall in the like cases be deemed to authorise or require persons to be summoned or to appear before a Magistrate sitting or acting as that Local Court.
