Excerpt from The Judicial Power of the Commonwealth: With the Practice and Procedure of the High Court The object of this work is to place in the hands of Students and Legal Practitioners a general survey and exposition of the judicial power of the Australian Commonwealth, coupled with a detailed analysis of the Judiciary Act 1903 and the High Court Practice and Procedure Art 1903, passed by the Federal Parliament for the purpose of bringing that power into full and effective operation; to show, as a whole, the legal constitution and organisation of the High Court, the distribution of the judicial power among the High Court and the State Courts, and the rules regulating the practice and procedure of the High Court in the exercise of its original as well as appellate jurisdictions. These Federal Acts have been to some extent moulded according to American models, with modifications and supplementary provisions from English and Colonial Statutes. Where sections have been taken from those sources the authors have noted the leading decisions of the Courts with respect to them. The rules of practice and procedure for the conduct of original and appellate proceedings in the High Court are based on the latest and most approved adaptations of the English Judicature Rules, as in force in some of the Supreme Courts of the Australian States. These rules have been illustrated and exemplified by extracts from Australian practice decisions, whilst marginal notes give cross-references to the corresponding English Rules, so that the practitioner, by turning to the "Annual Practice," can at once ascertain the English authorities applicable.
