Order Description
Question 1

in Australia:
a) State an example of a court and a non-judicial tribunal from the same
jurisdiction. (2 marks
b) Explain how, if at all, the two bodies you have selected are linked through
rights to appeal or the use of precedent. (4 marks)
(c) Discuss both the differences and similarities between the court and the
nonjudicial tribunal you have chosen. For example, your answer may refer to

Question 2
In Queensland v Commonwealth (1977) 139 CLR 585 Gibbs J observed: [10]. It
would be futile to attempt to state any succinct general principle by which the Court
should be guided in deciding whether to overrule an earlier decision of its own.

How does the High Court decision in Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175
CLR617 develop an understanding of when the High Court may overrule earlier
decisions?
