Full Case Citations
3. Medium Neutral Citation Example
The differences between medium neutral citations and traditional
case citations include the following:
Medium neutral citations
-
Give the abbreviation for the court and not a named law report.
-
Use court assigned case numbers rather than a volume and page
number
-
Use paragraph numbers rather than page numbers.
Medium Neutral Citation Example
The important thing to remember is that the above example is not
a citation for a published report. The court has made it available
on its own web page or through a free resource such as AustLII.
In the above example the abbreviation HCA stands for the High Court
of Australia.
A medium neutral citations table is included in Legal Abbreviations
and Law Report Citations and is available at http://www.library.mq.edu.au/find/legalabbrev.html
