Civil procedure in Australia

Civil procedure in Australia consists of the rules of civil procedure that govern procedure in the various courts and tribunals established by the Commonwealth, States and Territories. It is historically derived from, and continues to resemble, civil procedure in England and Wales. As with civil procedure in the United States, the applicable rules vary between the different federal and state jurisdictions.
