High Court of Australia

High Court of Australia and generative AI

A proceeding in the High Court is not a Federal Court proceeding and not a state Supreme Court proceeding. Open the High Court’s current practice directions. If no AI note is published, verify every citation in an official report or authorised source and do not invent a disclosure clause from another court.

Effective date

No dedicated note was listed as at 14 May 2026

Check the High Court’s practice directions before you file. Do not treat GPN-AI or a state note as a High Court rule. Absence from the Law Society index is not a finding that the Court has said nothing.

No High Court AI practice note was listed on the Law Society of New South Wales index as at 14 May 2026

Disclosure checklist

Work through this against the instrument, not instead of it. The checks do not record that the filing is done.

  • Open the High Court’s practice directions and look for an AI note.
  • Do not file a Federal Court or state disclosure formula as if the High Court had adopted it.
  • Verify every authority in a report or official source.
  • Record the date of the check.
