The Supreme Court of New South Wales for the District of Port Phillip was an historical division of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, exercising the jurisdiction of that court within the Port Phillip District of New South Wales. It consisted of a single Resident Judge. It existed from 1840 until 1852, when, following the separation of the Port Phillip District to form the Colony of Victoria, it was replaced by the Supreme Court of Victoria. ==Jurisdiction== The initial jurisdiction of the Port Phillip division was set out under the ''Administration of Justice Act 1840'' (NSW). For the most part, its jurisdiction was the same as the Supreme Court of New South Wales' ordinary jurisdiction, with the Resident Judge able to exercise all the powers and jurisdiction of the court, including powers and jurisdiction exercisable by a full bench.〔 〕 In addition to creating the position of Resident Judge, the legislation removed from the court in Sydney the jurisdiction at first instance over the Port Phillip District.〔 〕 However, decisions made by the Resident Judge could be appealed to the other three judges in Sydney.〔 Moreover, the ''Advancement of Justice Act 1841'' (NSW) provided that the Resident Judge could reserve questions of law for consideration by the full bench.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Supreme Court of New South Wales for the District of Port Phillip」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
