Federal Law Search provides selected information on cases initiated in the Federal Court of Australia and in the federal law jurisdiction of the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia.
The database is updated in real time and includes all cases that have commenced since 1 January 1984. As the database is being continually updated, the results of a search may vary from time to time as new information is entered.
This database may be relied upon for the purposes of:
- a search in relation to a bankruptcy notice as required by rule 4.04 of the Federal Court (Bankruptcy) Rules 2005 and rule 4.04 of the Federal Magistrates Court (Bankruptcy) Rules 2006;
- a search of the Register of Caveats Against Arrest as required by rule 39 and form 13 of the Admiralty Rules 1988;
- a search of the Register of Caveats Against Release as required by rules 51 and 52 and forms 18 and 19 of the Admiralty Rules 1988.
Before relying on the information in the database for any other purpose, users should carefully evaluate its accuracy, currency, completeness and relevance to the purpose for which it is to be used. It should be noted that, in relation to a proceeding, the information on the database is not the formal record of the Federal Court or the Federal Magistrates Court.
