High Court of Australia — Application for Special Leave to Appeal
Form number: Form 23 — Application for Special Leave
The High Court of Australia is the apex court — it does not hear appeals as of right except from death-penalty matters historically. You must obtain Special Leave to Appeal, granted only where the matter raises a question of public importance, conflict between intermediate appellate courts, or a serious miscarriage of justice. About 90% of applications are refused.
