INTRODUCTIONLegal courts is all about resolving legal issues by following a suitable procedure in orderto resolve it in more suitable manner. However, main objective of judiciary system is to defendthe parties with the use of suitable provisions, norms, rules and regulations (Liberman, 2013).Therefore, this assignment is going to highlight the appropriate procedure which is followed bylocal and district courts in resolving cases which are announce in the court. Along with this,process of legal proceedings is outlined in the project as well as general information associatedwith criminal offences. PART 1Question 1 Process of local and districts courts in AustraliaJudiciary of Australia consist of federal courts and tribunal of States and Territories ofAustralia as their main objective is to bring Idea of Justice out. However, large numbers oftribunal in Australia follows distinct procedural powers and characteristics, distinct jurisdictionallimits, various solution authorities and distinct cost structures. As per Australian Constitution,federal judiciary power is assigned in High Court of Australia and this federal tribunal aredesigned by federal Parliament. Mainly Australian court system is designed as a hierarchy thatmeans few tribunals are having major power as compared to others. Basically, it depends uponthe seriousness of offence as distinct tribunal deals in distinct cases. For example; there are twobasic types of courts are identified in Australian court such as; state which is set up or designedunder state laws and federal tribunal that is designed under common wealth laws (SweeneyandPayne, 2012). Apart from this, there are some tribunals or considered as local courts are alsopresent which deals in various issues such as; children’s, family court that deals with variouscases. In northern territory, Judges are taking part in both local as well as supreme court. On theother hand, local court is also considered as Magistrate Court. However, Process of justice beingmanage in Local court with the help of various judges as 14 local Court judges are present inNorthern Territory. Basically, Chief judge of local tribunal and eight other judges are based onDarwin whereas four are in Alice Springs and one presides in Katherine. Moreover, all the localcourt Judges are travel to another remote locality Courts across the Northern Territory such asTennant Creek, Borroloola, Yuendumu and Nhulunbuy. 1
In simple words, Local Court of New South Wales is considered as Lowest Court inJudiciary hierarchy of Australian State of New South Wales. On the other hand, it is also generalknown as Court of Petty sessions and Magistrates Court as more than 160 branches across NewSouth Wales where this tribunal is going to deal with number of minor civil and criminalmatters. Basically, problems are listen before sitting of single magistrate without a juryaddressed as “Your Honour” or “Sir”. Along with this, local tribunal has no jurisdiction inclaiming equity. After that, on the appeal, entire matters is going to heard by District Court of New SouthWales that includes appeals against any statement, sentence, judgement or conviction which isgiven in local court. Consequently, it has been understood that local court of New South Wales hears onlycivil matters whose monetary value is almost up to $100,000 such as; mental health issues,family matters, child care problems, adult criminal proceedings that includes committal hearingshenceforth. Hence, I have come to aware from these necessary information when I visited localand district courts of Australia as this court claims only small division which are of less than $10,000 as well as consider applications for Apprehended Violence orders (AVOs). Additionally,under family law Act 1975, local court is having limited jurisdictions in order to hear, considerand determine family legal issues. Along with this, also deal with the applications such as;property settlements and residence orders (Tranand et. Al., 2014). Instead of this, one thing which I come to know about district court that it exists invarious nations and in Australia this name is given to most of the intermediate tribunal.Basically, they hear indictable means most serious criminal cases but exclude treason, murderand in few states cases of manslaughter is also excluded.
