Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009.
Every judicial registrar, while the judicial registrar holds the office of judicial registrar, is an adjudicator for minor civil disputes. The president may enter into an arrangement with the Chief Magistrate about using judicial registrars as adjudicators. An arrangement under subsection (2) may provide for the following for a judicial registrar the subject of the arrangement— the time the judicial registrar may allocate to hearing and deciding minor civil disputes; the places at which the judicial registrar may hear and decide minor civil disputes. If an arrangement under subsection (2) applies to a judicial registrar, the judicial registrar may perform a function as an adjudicator for a minor civil dispute only as authorised, and in the way provided, under the arrangement. This part, other than sections 195 (a) , 196 and 197 , does not apply to a judicial registrar who is an adjudicator under subsection (1) . The appointment of a judicial registrar as an adjudicator does not affect any of the following— the judicial registrar’s tenure of office or status as a judicial registrar; the payment of the judicial registrar’s salary or allowances as a judicial registrar; any other right or privilege the judicial registrar has as a judicial registrar. Service by a judicial registrar in the office of an adjudicator is taken, for all purposes, to be service as a judicial registrar. Nothing in this Act prevents a judicial registrar who holds office as an adjudicator from doing anything in the judicial registrar’s capacity as a judicial registrar. s 198A ins 2009 No. 48 s 76 (sec.198A-ssec.1) Every judicial registrar, while the judicial registrar holds the office of judicial registrar, is an adjudicator for minor civil disputes.
