THE RECOGNITION OF ABORIGINAL CUSTOMARY LAWS - 726. Procedure under the New Regulations.
Regulation 23 of the Community Services (Aborigines) Regulations 1985
[146] provides that the procedures for and the enforcement of
decisions of an Aboriginal Court shall be the same as for justices
of the peace or magistrates under their respective Acts, depending
on whether the case would have been heard before justices or a
magistrate. This would appear to require Aboriginal courts to operate
with a great deal more formality than they have in the past. It
is uncertain how this will operate in practice, or how strictly
this requirement will be enforced.
