11  Jurisdiction of Supreme Court
  The Supreme Court:
 (a) has, subject to this or any other Act or to any Ordinance or enactment, in relation to the Territory, the same original jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, as the Supreme Court of the State of New South Wales had in relation to that State immediately before 1 January 1911;
 (b) has such jurisdiction, both civil and criminal, and whether original or otherwise, as is from time to time vested in the Supreme Court by Act, by Ordinance or by enactment; and
 (c) has jurisdiction, with such exceptions and subject to such conditions as are provided by Act or by Ordinance or enactment, to hear and determine appeals from all judgments, convictions, orders and sentences of inferior courts having jurisdiction in the Territory.
 Note: The Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory has jurisdiction in the Australian Antarctic Territory and in Heard Island and McDonald Islands; see section 10 of the Australian Antarctic Territory Act 1954 and section 9 of the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Act 1953.
