120 Powers of Land Court on appeal

(1) In deciding an appeal, the Land Court may—

(a) confirm the decision appealed against; or

(b) set the decision aside and substitute another decision; or

(c) set aside the decision and return the issue to the Minister with directions the Land Court considers appropriate.

(2) In substituting another decision, the Land Court has the same powers as the Minister.

Example—

The Land Court may decide that an unsuccessful applicant for a mining claim be granted the claim and impose conditions on it.

(3) If the Land Court substitutes another decision, the substituted decision is, for this Act, taken to be the decision of the Minister.
