95Referring questions of law to the Federal Court

#### 95 Referring questions of law to the Federal Court (1) The President may refer a question of law arising in a matter being appealed to the Full Bench for the opinion of the Federal Court. (2) A question of law referred under subsection (1) must be determined by the Full Court of the Federal Court. (3) The Full Bench may make a decision in relation to the matter even if the Federal Court is determining the question of law, except if the question is whether the Tribunal may exercise powers in relation to the matter. (4) Once the Federal Court has determined the question, the Full Bench may only make a decision in relation to the matter that is not inconsistent with the opinion of the Federal Court (if the Full Bench has not already done so). (5) However, if the Full Bench has made a decision in relation to the matter that is inconsistent with the opinion of the Federal Court, the Full Bench must vary the decision in such a way as to make it consistent with the opinion of the Federal Court.
