| | High Court of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The High Court can hear appeals from the Supreme Courts of the States, from any federal court or court exercising federal jurisdiction (such as the Federal Court of Australia), and from decisions made by one or more Justices exercising the original jurisdiction of the court. | | | Unlike other high courts, such as Supreme Court of the United States, the High Court is the court of final appeal for the whole of Australia with the ability to declare the common law for the whole of Australia, not just the state or territory in which the matter arose. | | | The High Court of Australia is the final court of appeal in Australia, the highest court in the Australian court hierarchy. |

| | From their first judgments, the Justices stamped the authority of the High Court over the State Supreme Courts and showed that the Court was a powerful and necessary arm of the newly-created Commonwealth of Australia. | | | Sir Garfield Barwick, both as a Minister in federal Parliament (1958-1964) and as Chief Justice of the High Court (from 1964), proposed a new federal superior court to free the High Court from much of this work. | | | In 1979 the High Court was given the power to administer its own affairs by the passage of the High Court of Australia Act 1979. |
