Abstract

The citation practice of courts is a neglected issue in Australian legal literature and hence an attempt is made to fill this gap through analysing citations to secondary authorities in High Court cases decided in 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 and 1996. Different academic and judicial attitudes towards courts citing secondary authorities are examined and also, changes in the citation practice of the High Court over time are observed.
