CiteCheck AU Preview: not yet evaluated
Paste a document or open a file. CiteCheck finds the case and statute citations in it and checks each one against an open snapshot of Australian law: does a record with this citation exist, and do the party names match? It triages; it does not verify.
Your document stays in this browser: nothing is uploaded or stored. For Commonwealth Acts, only the Act's register number and today's date go to the Federal Register of Legislation, to read the Act's current table of contents. Offline mode sends nothing, and section numbers of Commonwealth Acts are then not checked.
What the results mean
- Found
- A record with this citation, and these party names, exists in the sources. This is not verification under Vic SC Gen 25 para 7 or NSW SC Gen 23 paras 16–17: open the source and read the cited passage.
- Name–citation mismatch
- A record exists at this citation, but under different party names (or an Act of this name exists with another year). Often a typo; sometimes an invented case given a real citation.
- No record
- Within what the sources cover, nothing matches. The decision may be unpublished or restricted, so this is a reason to look harder, not proof that the case does not exist.
- Cannot check
- Outside coverage: another court, a decision after 10 March 2025, a report series or jurisdiction not covered, or a court-year with too many unpublished numbers.
Coverage
Case law from the Open Australian Legal Corpus (v7.1.0, current to 10 March 2025). Report citations come from the reports that at least two judgments in that corpus cite. Acts: the Commonwealth list from the Federal Register (downloaded 26 October 2026), and the NSW, Qld, WA, SA and Tas Acts in force at 10 March 2025.
