How recordings and transcripts are made
All courts in NSW are courts of record and are required to keep an accurate record of their proceedings. This record is created using shorthand or audio recordings.
Recordings and transcripts produced by the branch, become the official record of the court and are available during the course of proceedings or for appeal purposes. Court transcripts are text versions of the recorded proceedings.
If you are involved in a court case you can apply for a transcript.
