Online File
The Federal Court has established this online file in view of the public interest.
Documents will be placed onto the Online File when they are considered both by the Court and the parties to be publicly accessible.
Unrestricted documents such as the originating process are already available. In particular, affidavits read and documents tendered in the proceedings (with appropriate redactions) may be placed onto the Online File. The Court has made orders prohibiting the disclosure and publication of any redacted information in those documents. Orders and judgments are published on the Commonwealth Courts Portal.
The Court will endeavour to upload documents read or tendered in Court on the day they are read or tendered.
