Māori and English words should generally not be italicised unless a citation requires italics.

The following should be italicised:

• names of parties to cases (including the “v”), for example Barron v Barron;
• names of newspapers, for example The Dominion Post;
• titles of books, for example Salmond and Heuston on the Law of Torts; and
• titles of government reports, for example The Prosecution of Offences.
