Career
During his tenure on the Capital Territory Court, Lukin was also a Judge of the Federal Court of Bankruptcy. This meant that he did not sit full-time on the Capital Territory Court. Additionally, Lukin was also a judge on the Supreme Court of Queensland from 26 July 1910 until his retirement from the court on 18 July 1926.
He preferred to reside in Brisbane and travelled to Rockhampton by train to discharge his duties.
In 1929 Lukin was sitting as a judge on the Conciliation and Arbitration Court, where he handed down a new award for timber workers reducing wages and increasing weekly hours from 44 to 48. This precipitated the 1929 Timber Workers strike which lasted for 5 months.
Lukin died in 1944 and was buried in Lutwyche Cemetery.
