AGL C CCit it n ssty ty le GLC itaa tio tion tyle See the AGLC Referencing style guide for comprehensive explanations. Citing cases – reported case Looking at the case, Williams v Commonwealth. The correct way to cite this case is to use the citation from the authorised law reports series for the High Court of Australia, the Commonwealth Law Reports. Williams v Commonwealth (2012) 248 CLR 156. Donoghue v Stevenson [1932] AC 562, 563. The details which must be included are:  Case name - in italics  Year - in round or square brackets  Volume number

 Abbreviation of the law report  Starting page  Pinpoint page.

Citing cases – unreported case Party names [the year of the decision] the Court abbreviation the sequential number of the judgment (the date), with a space left between each section. Falzon v Mercanti [2018] HCA 2 (7 February 2018) [15]. Liongson v Olims Canberra Hotel [2010] FCA 248 (15 March 2010) [21]. In another example: Optus Administration Pty Ltd v Wright [2017] NSWCA 21 (17 February 2017) This is the twenty-first decision of the New South Wales Court of Appeal for 2017. The year is always in square brackets. To pinpoint reference in an unreported judgment use the paragraph number, not a page number. To pinpoint reference to paragraph 20 within the judgment, it would be expressed as: Optus Administration Pty Ltd v Wright [2017] NSWCA 21 (17 February 2017) [20] The details which must be included are:  Case name - in italics  Year - in square brackets  Abbreviation of the court

 Judgment number  Judgment date – in round brackets  Pinpoint paragraph number

 Pinpoint - Identify the particular section, paragraph, part, schedule, etc. (See AGLC rule 3.1.4 for the appropriate abbreviations for pinpoint references to legislation)

Citing journal articles Selena Bateman, ‘Constitutional Dimensions of State Executive Power: an Analysis of the Power for Contract and Spend’ (2015) 26 Public Law Review 255. The details which must be included are:  Name of the author (surname first if used in a bibliography)  Title of the article - In single quotation marks  Year of publication – In round brackets

 Volume number (and issue number if necessary for identification)  Name of journal – in full (don’t abbreviate the journal title)  Starting page  Pinpoint page.

Pinpoint Reference In order to quote a particular section of a report or judgement you will need to indicate the page number. This is known as pinpoint referencing. A pinpoint reference should be preceded by a comma and a space, and where the pinpoint reference is to the first page of the report, the page number should be repeated. A series of pinpoint references should be separated by commas: For example: Gifford v Strang Patrick Stevedoring (2003) 214 CLR 269, 272. Jellie v Commonwealth of Australia [1959] VR 72, 72. JB v The Queen (2012) 83 NSWLR 153, 159, 161.
