Supreme Court of the Northern Territory

Northern Territory court AI practice notes

The Local Court is not the Supreme Court. Do not apply a southern state’s practice note as the Territory’s rule. If the file is in the Federal Court, open GPN-AI instead.

Effective date

No dedicated note was listed as at 14 May 2026

Open the Supreme Court’s own site before you file. A native title file can be a Federal Court matter even when the land is in the Territory. Name the court.

No dedicated court AI protocol for the Territory 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.

  • Name the court: Supreme Court, Local Court, or the Federal Court.
  • Check that court’s site for a generative AI notice.
  • Do not copy SC Gen 23 or SC Gen 25 into a Territory document.
  • Verify citations against Territory or Commonwealth legislation as the case requires, in an official source.

Questions

Is there a Territory equivalent of SC Gen 23?

The Law Society index did not list one as at 14 May 2026. Check the Supreme Court site.

What if the matter is native title?

It may be in the Federal Court. Open GPN-AI if that is the court, not a Territory summary.

What should be disclosed?

Only what the court on the file has required. Verify the document in any event.
