The High Court of Australia is the
highest court in the Australian judicial system. It was established in 1901 by
the Constitution of Australia and is located in
Canberra.
The High Court has original
jurisdiction in certain matters, such as disputes between states and disputes
between the Commonwealth and the states. It also has appellate jurisdiction,
meaning it hears appeals from lower courts in both civil and criminal matters.
The High Court is composed of seven
judges, including the Chief Justice of Australia.
The judges are appointed by the
Governor-General of Australia on the advice of the federal government. They
serve until the age of 70.
The decisions of the High Court are
final and binding on all lower courts in Australia.
The High Court has played a
significant role in shaping the legal and constitutional framework of
Australia, including in areas such as Indigenous rights, immigration, and
federalism.
