See General Rules Part 1: AGLC4 1.1-1.13.
For further details re citing cases see AGLC4 Rules 2.1-2.2.
Cite the party names as they appear on the first page of the decision in italics. Use only the surname for individuals.
For Law Reports organised by volume, the year should appear in "( )".
Alternatively if Law Reports are organised by year, the relevant year should appear in "[ ]". If more than one volume number is produced in a single year, the volume number should be included between the year and the report series abbreviation. Citations can be checked for accuracy with case citators such as CaseBase.
The authorised version of the report should always be used where available (see list in AGLC4 Rule 2.2.3) or the Common Case Abbreviations. Otherwise follow the preference order (see list in AGLC4 Rule 2.2.2).
The first page of the case should appear after the abbreviated form of the report series. Multiple case citations within one footnote should be separated with a semi-colon. 'Ibid' should be used for a single source in the immediately preceding footnote.
Pinpoint references should be preceded by a comma and a space after the starting page. Separate multiple pinpoints with a comma. Where a report has both page numbers and paragraph numbers, then paragraph numbers may be included in addition in '[ ]'.
The subsequent history of a case may be indicated after the primary case by including the abbreviation for 'affirmed' or 'reversed' and followed by the subsequent decision. See AGLC4 rule 2.5.
