8 CASES FROM SPECIFIC JURISDICTIONS

8.1 General rules

Where possible, follow the rules set out in chapter 3 when citing cases from overseas jurisdictions. This chapter supplements those rules with rules specific to individual jurisdictions.

When citing a reported case, official report series are preferred.

Cite unreported judgments using a neutral citation. Where a neutral citation is not available, cite the case as consistently as possible with the rules for New Zealand unreported cases in rule 3.4.
