High Court of Australia.
The apex court of the federation, sitting in Canberra. It decides constitutional matters and final appeals from federal, state and territory courts, and its decisions bind every court in Australia.
Case law · Australia
Australian case law, from question to checkable authority.
Describe your issue in plain language and LexChat searches Australian reported cases and legislation — High Court, Federal Court and state Supreme Court authority — pinning every answer to a citation you can check.
Why it holds up
Answers you can check, not trust.
Australian law is federal, and that multiplies the reading. The High Court of Australia sits at the apex, the Federal Court of Australia handles federal matters, and every state and territory has its own Supreme Court and appellate benches. A single question can turn on authority from several of these systems at once, alongside Commonwealth and state legislation.
LexChat searches Australian reported cases and legislation first — across the federal, state and territory courts — and reasons only over the material it retrieved. Answers come back pinned to the specific decisions and provisions relied on, so you can open each source, confirm the holding and the statutory text, and verify the point before you use it.
The court system
Australia's courts, ready to query.
Federal Court of Australia.
The senior federal court for civil matters arising under Commonwealth law, spanning areas from corporations and competition to tax, native title and industrial disputes.
State and territory Supreme Courts.
Each state and territory has its own Supreme Court, the highest court of that jurisdiction for most matters, with appeals ultimately lying to the High Court of Australia.
Intermediate and lower courts.
District or County Courts and Magistrates' Courts carry the bulk of the caseload in most states and territories, feeding appeals upward toward the Supreme Courts.
