ICLRQ Online Customer Portal Guide

Contents
1.0.  Introductionback to top

  • The ICLRQ Online Customer Portal is a service provided by the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland which provides for:

    • the creation, lodgement and purchase of public notices published in the Queensland Law Report (“QLR”);
    • the purchase of an annual subscription to the printed bound volumes of the Queensland Reports;
    • the purchase of printed bound volumes of the Queensland Reports (without an annual subscription); and
    • free subscription to the digital publications of the Queensland Reports (monthly) and the Queensland Law Reporter (weekly).

  • 1.1.  Object of the ICLRQ Online Customer Portal

    The object of the ICLRQ Customer Online Portal is to provide an online portal to facilitate dealings with ICLRQ customers in the modernisation of the service provided by the ICLRQ to the legal profession and the community.

  • 1.2.  ICLRQ

    The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland (ICLRQ) is a charitable institution which was founded in 1907. Under its constitution, the principal object of the ICLRQ is “the preparation and publication in a convenient form, at a moderate price, and under gratuitous professional superintendence and control, of Reports of Judicial Decisions of the Supreme Court in the State of Queensland”.

    In pursuit of this object, the ICLRQ publishes a set of authorised reports of the key decisions of the Supreme Court of Queensland (the Queensland Reports), a weekly supplement to these Reports (the Queensland Law Reporter) and the Queensland Judgments website www.queenslandjudgments.com.au which provides to the legal profession and the public, free of charge: a complete set of the Queensland Reports and all earlier Queensland reported judgments (from 1859); a complete set of recent unreported from all Queensland Courts and Tribunals; an appeals database; and a new UCPR online service.

    The ICLRQ is not a commercial publisher, nor does it act for profit motives. Under its constitution, all surplus funds from the ICLRQ’s operations are used to benefit the Supreme Court Library Queensland.

    The origin of the ICLRQ can be traced to 1901, when the Supreme Court Library, under the leadership of Sir Samuel Griffith established the first Council of Law Reporting in Queensland. This Council was based on the English model (which had also begun as an unincorporated Council) and began to publish the first contemporaneous set of authorised reports of the Supreme Court in 1902 – the State Reports of Queensland.

    The members of the Council serve on a voluntary basis. The Council is constituted by three practising barristers and three practising solicitors (who are appointed annually by the Judges of the Supreme Court) and three ex officio members (the Attorney-General of Queensland, the Solicitor-General of Queensland and the Registrar of the Supreme Court). The Editors, Sub-Editors and Reporters are all practising members of the Queensland Bar.

    After a period of consolidation, the Council of Law Reporting was then restructured to its final corporate form. On 7 November 1907, the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for the State of Queensland was formed as a company limited by guarantee. It then continued to publish the State Reports of Queensland, the Queensland Weekly Notes and the newly established Queensland Law Reporter from 1908.

    For more information about the ICLRQ, see here. To find out more about the ICLRQ’s history, origins and foundation, see here, as well as Helen Gregory’s Capturing Law and History: One Hundred Years of Queensland Law Reporting (SCLQ, 2007).

  • 1.3.  Queensland Law Reporter

    The Queensland Law Reporter (QLR) has been published since 1908 as a weekly supplement to the Queensland Reports.

    It is published every Friday, in electronic format, save for a period during the court vacation (from late December to early January).

    The QLR is intended to serve two main purposes:

    • 1. for the Editors to provide the whole of the legal profession in Queensland with weekly updates of the most significant developments in Queensland statute and case law; and
    • 2. for the publication of public notices.

    Previously, the QLR had published the headnotes of reports which were about to be published in the Queensland Reports, but it was published in print format only. This ceased at the end of 2012. The QLR was significantly modernised under the editorship of Roger Derrington QC (now Derrington J of the Federal Court) in 2013.

    A weekly online version of the Queensland Law Reporter commenced on 11 January 2013. Not only did this produce copies of the headnotes of the cases being reported but it also provided notes of cases considered noteworthy but not being reported and other information in addition to formal notices, including book reviews, judicial speeches, news of upcoming events and other material of interest to the legal profession. See here for more information about the content published in the QLR.

    The QLR can be accessed free of charge here. Free weekly subscriptions to the QLR are also available, at no additional cost, by signing up here.

  • 1.4.  Public Notices section in the QLR

    The QLR is a publication approved under r 599(2) of the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 and Supreme Court Practice Direction 14 of 2017 for the publication of notices of intention to apply for a grant of probate or letters of administration, as well as notices of missing wills, and occasionally, notices of intention to distribute the assets of an estate.

    It is also a publication approved under Supreme Court Practice Direction 7 of 2004 for the publication of notices of intention to apply for admission to the legal profession in satisfying the requirements under r 12 of the Supreme Court (Admission) Rules 2004.

    Notices published in the QLR from 1 January 2012 onwards are accessible through the Public Notice Database, which is updated every Friday after 5:00 pm.
