Full Case Citations
2. Case citations with year reference in square brackets
Other report series identify the volumes by the years in which
they were published. The volumes are not sequentially numbered and
so the correct volume can only be identified with reference to the
year of publication. The year reference is placed in square brackets
and refers to the year the case was published.
Case Report Citation example (square brackets)
Examples of law report series that use this citation style include
All England Reports (All ER), and Law Reports, Queen's
Bench (QB)
The first two examples are for judgments that have been published
in law reports, ie. they are reported judgements.
A third case citation style has also been developed to accommodate
full text judgments retrieved from web databases eg. AustLII. This
style is called a medium neutral citation. It resembles
example two but differs in several significant ways.
