The subsequent history of a case may, if necessary, be indicated after its citation by including the abbreviation “aff’d” for “affirmed” or the abbreviation “rev’d” for “reversed”. If the case name remains the same or the parties’ names are merely reversed, the name of the subsequent case is not required.

Eg Foodstuffs (Auckland) Ltd v Commerce Commission [2002] 1 NZLR 353 (CA); rev’d [2002] UKPC 25, [2004] 1 NZLR 145.

Where the case name changes on appeal, include the name of the subsequent case.

Eg Auckland Electric Power Board v Electricity Corporation of New Zealand [1994] 1 NZLR 551 (CA); aff’d Mercury Energy Ltd v Electricity Corporation of New Zealand [1994] 2 NZLR 385 (PC).
