 | | 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. | | | The High Court of Australia is the final court of appeal in Australia, the highest court in the Australian court hierarchy. | | | Therefore, while the High Court is the final court of appeal it cannot be considered to be a general court of appeal. |

| | IN THE HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA |
| | To demand the High court honour and enforce its' ruling of 1996 by Justice Brennan is not trivial, not frivolous, not vexatious and not an abuse of the High courts' processes. | | | My petition states very clearly that the High court acting as the court of disputed returns is being called upon to enforce its' ruling of 1996 by its' Justice Brennan that the "High court doesn't have jurisdiction to apply the laws of mathematics and physics". | | | He must think that it is an abuse of the courts processes for this should have been dealt with out of court by mathematicians, scientists and politicians and not by the High court. |

| | Powerflex Appeal 30 September 1999 High Court of Australia |
| | The High Court accepted the reasoning of the lower Appeal Court and found that the reserved command words of the Dataflex language were not in isolation or in collection computer programs within the definition of section 10 of the Australian Copyright Act 1968. | | | Thus the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia drew attention to the governing principle of Copyright Law that protection is given not for ideas but only for the form of expression and applied these principles to the definition of a computer program contained in the Copyright Act. | | | The effect of the High Court's view is to prevent the principles in Autodesk being applied in later cases. |
