    Court
    Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court has jurisdiction because the Supreme Court Act 2003 and amendments to the Property (Relationships) Act demonstrate Parliament intended appeals in relationship property matters to proceed to the Supreme Court, and any contrary finality effect of s 67 Judicature Act 1908 is superseded insofar as the Property (Relationships) Act is concerned; accordingly leave to appeal is granted on the s 44C issue and refused on the cattle classification issue for lack of factual completeness and public importance.
