How Can I Appeal my Case to the High Court of Australia?
To appeal a case from the Court of Appeal to the High Court of Australia, you must first apply for permission (leave) from the High Court. Appeals to the High Court are highly technical and complex, as this is Australia’s highest court. If you believe an error or injustice occurred in your Court of Appeal case, it’s essential to consult an experienced lawyer who can assess the strength of your case and guide you through this challenging process.
Important Considerations
Securing a full hearing in the High Court is highly challenging. The High Court only hears select criminal and sentencing appeals, typically when there’s a need to address inconsistencies in the law or resolve significant legal questions.
Each case is carefully evaluated based on its unique facts. However, if your matter proceeds, be prepared for possible delays, as High Court hearings often take between 12 to 18 months due to the Court’s heavy caseload.

Read MoreI would like to sincerely thank Ashleigh for her exceptional support and professionalism during a very difficult time in my life. From the first meeting, she was calm, respectful, and clear about what I could expect. She never judged me, always listened carefully, and explained every step of the legal process in a way that made me feel supported and confident.
