170  Simplified outline of this Part

      A party to a proceeding in the Tribunal may appeal to the Federal Court, on a question of law, from the decision of the Tribunal in the proceeding. A decision that a person's interests are not affected by a reviewable decision may also be appealed. Timeframes apply to making appeals, but may be extended. An appeal does not affect the operation of a Tribunal decision unless the Court orders otherwise.
      This Part contains the standard provisions for how the Court operates when dealing with an appeal. Other legislation can include provisions that apply in addition to, or instead of, these provisions.
      The Federal Court may transfer some kinds of appeal to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Division 2).
      There are provisions facilitating remittal of matters to the Tribunal to be decided again.
      In some circumstances, the Tribunal may refer a question of law to the Federal Court.
      There are requirements (including some non‑disclosure obligations) relating to sending documents between the Tribunal and the courts.
