Abstract
This paper is concerned with the integrity of Australia’s e-court processes. The safe and effective functioning of the e-court process is important because all groups in society depend on and adhere to court judgements. Accordingly, e-court industry standards and best-practice guidelines should reflect a rigorous information protection perspective based upon sound information security principles. American e-courts are more advanced than their Australian counterparts. This paper examines existing information protection guidelines in the USA with a view to their potential application in Australian e-courts. A brief comparison of the underlying American and Australian philosophies regarding the use of ICT and information protection in e-courts is undertaken. The authors conclude by showing how an e-filing standard could be developed within an information protection framework that is specific to Australian e-courts.
