Template:Oscola
How to use this template[edit]
This template is used to cite cases heard by the various courts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the format established by OSCOLA.
- Usage: {{Oscola | code | year | volume/neutral citation jurisdiction | reporter/neutral citation division | page/judgment | court | pinpoint }}
where code is the citation format code given below, year is the year the case was decided, volume/neutral citation jurisdiction is the first number/number-letter sequence following the date in the case citation or the code indicating the jurisdiction of the case, reporter/neutral citation division is the publication reporting the case or the division of the court (i.e. criminal, civil, administrative), page/judgment is the first page of the case in the reporter or the judgment number, court is the court where the case was adjudicated, and pinpoint is the page/paragraph where the quoted material is referenced. This is usually included after naming a case, such as: Donoghue v Stevenson {{Oscola|PROP|1952||AC|562|HL Sc|}}.
To do[edit]
