(a) Law reports organised by volume number

If the volumes of the law report are organised by volume number (as opposed to by year), cite the volume number after the year in which the case was decided.

Eg Scenic Developments Ltd v Kelmarna Properties Ltd (2004) 17 PRNZ 489 (CA).

(b) Law reports organised by year

If the volumes of the law report are organised by year (as opposed to by volume number) and there is more than one volume for a particular year, cite the volume number after the year. If there is only one volume for the year in question, do not give the volume number.

Eg Brogden v Attorney-General [2001] NZAR 809 (CA).

NOT Brogden v Attorney-General [2001] 1 NZAR 809 (CA).

(c) Arabic numerals

Always give the volume number in Arabic numerals even if the report series uses Roman numerals.

Eg Re Horlick’s Malted Milk Co (1914) 34 NZLR 91 (SC).

NOT Re Horlick’s Malted Milk Co (1914) XXXIV NZLR 91 (SC).
