Appeals to the Full Court of the Family Court
An appeal to the Full Court of the Family Court lies against a decision made by a single judge of the Family Court: r 22.14 of the Family Law Rules 2004.
An appeal is instituted by the lodgment of a Notice of Appeal. The Notice of Appeal must be lodged within 28 days of the date of the order appealed from. Once a Notice of Appeal has been filed, the appeals registrar in chambers will make directions as to the running of the appeal, including the preparation of appeal books and the filing of a summary of argument and list of authorities.
Failure to comply with directions may have the appeal abandoned and a costs order awarded against the appellant.
See Appeal to the Full Court of the Family Court.
