Australian Legal System

Australian Legal System

The Australian legal system has a great deal in common with the New Zealand legal system, but also some key differences that you will need to be aware of. The Australian legal system is fair and free of corruption, and you will most likely find your experiences with the Australian police (and if necessary, Court system) to be pleasant and brief. However, should you need additional assistance, there are resources provided by the Australian government and community organisations that will be able to help you out.

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, and defines the branches of government – the Legislature, the Executive and the Judicial – and the powers of the Courts. Much like the New Zealand legal system, the Australian system of law is derived from legislation (statute law), which is made by Parliament, and from common law (the doctrine of precedent), which is formed by individual judgements made on cases.

    Hi Tretre,
    Australian dv orders cover you in NZ as well so it’s possible it’s the same the other way around.
    If you would like an Australian one though there’s no need for legal aid, just go into your local courthouse and ask for the forms to apply for a dv order, be sure to take your NZ one in so they can photocopy and attach it.
    Once filled out you will be given a court date to appear before a judge so it can be granted.
    With your NZ one sited you shouldn’t have a problem.

    I believe that it is necessary to develop, no matter how old you are, what you do and who you work for, you must overcome all the vicissitudes of fate that seem difficult to you, because you can do everything like me https://spin.city/en/casino/type/slot here I created free spins and slots and was able to realize my dream and now you can we travel with our girlfriend and cat with all the stars we wanted before so don’t stop)
