37W Dual appointments
superior court office, in relation to a judge of the court who holds
office as a judge of a superior court of record of the Commonwealth,
a State or another Territory, means the office of judge of that superior
court of record.
(2) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), a judge is not entitled to
remuneration, allowances or entitlements if the judge—
(a) concurrently holds a superior court office; and
(b) is entitled to remuneration, allowances or entitlements (as the
case requires) in relation to the superior court office.
(3) If the amount of remuneration or allowances to which a judge would
be entitled as a judge of the court if subsection (2) did not apply
exceeds the remuneration or allowances (as the case may be) to which
he or she is entitled in relation to his or her superior court office, the
judge is entitled to receive an additional amount equal to that excess.
(4) If the entitlements to which a judge would be entitled as a judge of
the court if subsection (2) did not apply—
(a) are of a type not provided for in relation to his or her superior
court office; or
(b) are of a better quality than those provided for in relation to his
or her superior court office;
the judge is entitled to receive entitlements of that type or quality.
(5) This section does not apply to an acting judge of the court.
