Legal encyclopaedias comprise a narrative statement of the law of Australia organised by subject area and covering all nine jurisdictions. Statements of legal principles and propositions of substantive law are supported by references to primary authority (cases and legislation).
Always check the currency of the relevant paragraph in the encyclopaedias and update the primary sources.
