Transcripts

The Court has its own Court reporting service which provides an accurate transcript of the proceedings of the High Court for the use of the Justices. The High Court’s transcript is a record of its proceedings and includes the full text of citations referred to by counsel during the hearings. The transcript is also made available, in paper form and electronically on the AustLII website at http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdb/au/cases/cth/HCATrans/ and on the Jade website at http://jade.barnet.com.au/c/HCATRANS to legal practitioners, litigants and other interested persons. The transcript is usually available the day after the Court rising in Canberra. Transcripts of special leave applications and cases heard on circuit are available in paper form and on the AustLII website within a few days of the hearing. Transcripts dating back to 1994 are available on that site.
