Illustration for Armed Forces Discipline Act 1971

You have a court called the Summary Appeal Court of New Zealand. It is a court of record, which is a special kind of court. The court has its own powers and can do things that other courts of record can do. You know the court has some special jobs given to it by laws. It also has all the normal powers that a court of record would have. This means it can make decisions and do things that are important for its job. The Summary Appeal Court has a special seal, which is like an official stamp. All other courts must recognise this seal and use it for official things. This seal is important for the court's work and is used to show that something is official.
