KSJ v GJA

This case concerns an appeal from a decision of the District Court of Western Australia that an appeal to that court was incompetent. The appellant, KSJ, appealed to the District Court against a decision of a magistrate to cancel an interim family violence restraining order (FVRO). The District Court dismissed the appeal on the basis that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal. KSJ then appealed to this court. The Court dismissed the appeal, finding that the primary judge was correct to find that the District Court does not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a decision to cancel an interim FVRO. The appeal to this court must be dismissed and there will be no occasion for this court to consider other complaints made by the appellant in the grounds and submissions.
