Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) A court or tribunal may inform itself about an Act or statutory instrument in any way it considers appropriate.
Examples of ways that may be appropriate—
1 using an electronic version of an Act as available on the internet or on a CD–ROM other than an authorised reprint under the Reprints Act 1992
2 using a printed copy of an Act in a publication other than an authorised reprint under the Reprints Act 1992
(2) However, the court or tribunal must consider whether the document or source it intends to consult appears to be a reliable source of information.
(3) Subsection (1) does not limit any law providing for a way in which a court or tribunal may be informed about an Act or statutory instrument, including any other provision of this Act or the Reprints Act 1992.
