NSW Law Reports

Cases reported in the NSWLR are selected by the Editor on the basis of their significance in relation to the interpretation, development or application of the law in New South Wales.

[1] Every report contains a headnote drafted by a practising barrister or solicitor, reviewed by an Assistant Editor and approved by the relevant court.

They are quite different from collections of the vast number of unreported decisions that are made freely available by New South Wales courts.

Electronic copies of single cases are available for purchase from the NSWLR website on a pay-per-view basis for a modest fee.

[3] In addition, the whole of the NSWLR series is licensed to LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters for publication as part of their online platforms in Australia.
