Practical Law Australia

Case trackers identify leading full court or full bench decisions, and list key lower court or tribunal decisions that have followed and applied that decision.

They list significant Court and Tribunal decisions, classified by the factual scenario of the case. This allows you to quickly find cases that deal with a similar scenario. Our writers break down the practical implications of the case, linking to Practical Law resources which provide guidance on the steps to take, if you face a similar situation. Case trackers link to full text case materials from Westlaw, so you can continue your research. They are available for the Commercial Real Estate and Employment practice areas.

1. Click on the relevant practice area from the Practical Law Australia homepage (Commercial Real Estate or Employment).
2. Click on the Case Trackers tab to see a list of topics covered, and then click into your topic to view relevant cases.

For each decision, key information is identified or summarised, including:

• The case name, including a link to the case in Westlaw
• The date of the decision
• The judicial member or members
• The statute, provision or relevant point of law
• The background to the dispute
• The decision, and the reasoning of the court in making its decision
• Key points for practitioners
