Court

The University Charter and Statutes (Statute 4: The Court) define the powers, functions and composition of the Court.
The University Charter requires that the Court shall adopt and at all times act in accordance with a Statement of Primary Responsibilities, which shall include provisions relating to the performance of the Court’s primary responsibilities in accordance with accepted principles of good governance for a university.
The full responsibilities of the Court are set out in the Statement of Primary Responsibilities.
