Unreported Judgments

Unreported judgments are offcial judgments as handed down (published) by the Court.

The 1906-1994 digitised collection is at present very incomplete, and there are no official digitised unreported judgments between 1994 and 1999. The Court is working to digitise these judgments to fill the gaps. You can access unofficial versions of judgments on AustLII and JADE.

Unreported judgments that have not been digitised may be available in print in the High Court Canberra Registry. For access to these judgments, contact the Registry. Charges under the High Court (Fees) Regulations 2022 may apply.
