"What special words mean in this part of the law"

Illustration for Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

When you read this part of the law, some words have special meanings. A court of rendition is the court that made a judgment. A judgment can be an order, and enforcement of a judgment includes carrying out what the judgment says.

You need to know what some other words mean too. A penalty is a fine or other money penalty, and it can be for a criminal or civil matter. The place of rendition is the country where the court that made the judgment is located.

A registered judgment is one that is registered under section 587. This helps you understand what these words mean in this part of the law.
