92ZKProceedings under this Part in District Court to be heard by Family Court Judges, if practicable
The District Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine—
- appeals under this Part against directions given; and
- applications for orders made under this Part.
Every proceeding referred to in subsection (1) must, if practicable having regard to the time required and to the availability of Judges and court staff and resources, be heard and determined by a Family Court Judge.
Any District Court Judge may hear and determine a proceeding referred to in subsection (1) that cannot practicably be heard and determined by a Family Court Judge.
The fact that a District Court Judge exercises jurisdiction under this section is conclusive evidence of the authority of the District Court Judge to do so.
Appeals under this section should be heard as soon as practicable.
