A citation either resolves to a published decision or it does not. CiteCheck looks it up in the record. The same document always gives the same answer.
A fabricated citation usually reuses a real case's number. When the name does not match the record, the report shows which case that number belongs to. Anything that cannot be verified is marked for you to check.
Each verified citation links to the judgment on the court's website or AustLII. Case law only: legislation and overseas authorities are not checked.
Every State and Territory, the federal courts and the major tribunals. The index runs from the earliest reported series to August 2026.
