6.3.2 Editor/author

Give the editor named as the “general editor” or “editor in chief” of the service, if there is one. Do this in accordance with rule 6.1.2.

If the name of the “general editor” or “editor in chief” is not clear from the publication, then omit this information.

Give the title in italics as it appears on the title page.

6.3.4 Looseleaf edition

Following the title, include the words “looseleaf ed” or “online looseleaf ed”, followed by a comma.

6.3.5 Publisher

Give the name of the publisher if it is known.

6.3.6 Pinpoint

Where available, use paragraph numbers for the pinpoint citation.

Eg Andrew Beck and others Morison’s Company and Securities Law (looseleaf ed, LexisNexis) at [68.1].

When giving a pinpoint citation to a footnote or endnote, give the reference to the paragraph or page in which the footnote or endnote appears followed by a comma and "n x" where "x" is the number of the footnote or endnote.

Eg RL Fisher (ed) Fisher on Matrimonial and Relationship Property (looseleaf ed, LexisNexis) at [8.20], n 1.

6.3.7 Service update/date of access

As a general rule, it is unnecessary to include the service update being referred to or the date that the electronic version of the text was accessed. However, if you consider that this information is necessary, it may be included. It is unnecessary to include this material in order to indicate the currency of the work: this can be done by way of an introductory footnote stating when an article or essay was written.

Eg Andrew Beck and others McGechan on Procedure (looseleaf ed, Brookers, updated to 10 July 2009) at [HRPt14.15(1)].

Eg Thomas Gault (ed) Gault on Commercial Law (online looseleaf ed, Brookers, accessed 25 June 2009) at [CA27.06(1)].
