  • Function / Content
    The Justices of the Peace Act 1887 provided that Where any person who feels aggrieved by the actions or order of a Court of Petty Sessions could, by affidavit, apply to the Supreme Court or a judge thereof for an order. (Part VI (2)) Thus, Orders to Review were a means of appealing to the Supreme Court against a judgment brought in a Court of Petty Sessions in both the civil and criminal jurisdictions.

    This series consists of the Orders to Review for which applications were made to the Supreme Court. Most files contain the original affidavit as described in the Justice Act and may contain an Order Nisi, an Order Absolute and a statement of costs. The summary of the actual Court proceedings may be found in VPRS 5367 Court Books.

    The P1 consignment of this series was previously registered as VPRS 5595 Stephens v Abrahams Document A Estray. It is a document from case number 1688, Stephens v. Abrahams, and is Document A referred to in the Affidavit of Albert Walter Chartres. It was reserialised in 2001.
