Queensland Judgments - New Database

 
Queensland Judgments is an essential – and free – resource for all Queensland law students and professionals.

The website is a joint initiative of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland (ICLRQ) and the Supreme Court of Queensland Library Committee (SCLQ), publishing an authoritative, complete, and functional collection of Queensland case law, including the Queensland Reports.

Included on the site is a complete online set of the authorised reports of the Supreme Court of Queensland, commencing from the foundation of the Court in 1859. The set is updated monthly and includes:
  • Queensland Supreme Court Reports (QSCR) (1859-1878)
  • Queensland Law Reports (Beor) (QLR (Beor)) (1876-1878)
  • Queensland Law Journal Reports (QLJ) and Notes of Cases (QLJ (NC)) (1861-1901)
  • State Reports of Queensland (St R Qd) (1902-1957)
  • Queensland Weekly Notes (QWN) (1902-1972)
  • Queensland Reports (Qd R) (from 1958).
In addition to the Queensland Reports, Queensland Judgments also includes a complete set of the unreported judgements of the Supreme Court of Queensland (from 2002), updated daily. Judgments that have been noted as subject to an appeal are annotated with a warning symbol in the heading and an endnote. All appeals from judgments published in this collection will be recorded on the site. Pending appeals can be found under the Appeals tab.

There is also a Digest, which identifies and summarizes key Queensland decisions concerning the meaning and operation of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld). This digest is updated weekly.

Much of the site can be accessed without need for registration. However, to access the Queensland Reports, users will need to register for a free account. 

There are also a few short videos to help you get the most out of the site.
