THE RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL CUSTOMARY LAWS - 725. Appeals
For the purposes of appeal the decision of an Aboriginal court is
to be treated as if it were a decision of a Magistrate's court
(s45) so that the ordinary avenues of appeal exist. Under the
repealed
Aborigines Act 1971
(Qld) there was, in addition, provision for an appeal to be made
to a district officer and from his decision to the visiting justice
or, alternatively, direct to the visiting justice. Thus the former
three avenues of appeal have been replaced by one.
