#### 59 Enforcement of judgments etc.
(1) A judgment:
(a) of the Federal Court or the Family Court that is entirely or partly given in the exercise of jurisdiction conferred by this Division, or by a law of the Northern Territory that corresponds to this Division; or
(b) of a court of the Capital Territory that is entirely or partly given in the exercise of jurisdiction conferred by this Division, or by a law of a State that corresponds to this Division;
is enforceable in the Capital Territory as if the judgment had been given by that court entirely in the exercise of the jurisdiction of that court apart from this Division or any such law.
(2) Where:
(a) a provision of a law of the Commonwealth or of the Capital Territory (not being a law in relation to the enforcement of judgments) refers to a thing done by the Federal Court, the Family Court, the Supreme Court of the Capital Territory or of a State, a State Family Court or a particular lower court of the Capital Territory or of a State; and
(b) that thing is done by another court in the exercise of jurisdiction conferred by this Division or a law of a State corresponding to this Division;
the reference in that provision to the Federal Court, the Family Court, the Supreme Court of the Capital Territory or of that State, that State Family Court or that lower court, as the case may be, is taken as a reference to that other court.
