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 Under the repealed Aborigines Act 1971 (Qld) there was, in addition, provision for an appeal to be made to a district officer and from his decision to the visiting justice or,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 Thus the former three avenues of appeal have been replaced by one.
