- High Court
The High Court retains its inherent jurisdiction to hear unit title disputes and ss 171-173 of the Unit Titles Act create concurrent monetary-based jurisdictions for Tribunal and District Court but do not implicitly oust the High Court's inherent jurisdiction; jurisdiction is determined by the total judgment or order sought rather than by artificially dividing causes of action; s176 does not import RTA s82 to create exclusive originating jurisdiction for the Tribunal over unit title disputes.
