Law reports: authorised reports

  • Authorised law reports are cases that have been approved by the judge before publishing. They contain decisions.
  • Cases are often reported in more than one law report series; citing the authorised report is preferable, if available.
  • Cases reported in an authorised series must be cited in court rather than relying on printouts from databases such as AustLII.
