Where it is necessary to cite a minute or a ruling given during the course of a trial, use the citation format for unreported cases but give the date of the minute or ruling as opposed to the date of the judgment, unless the Court has given the minute or ruling its own neutral citation.

Eg Orlov v Chief Executive of the Ministry of Social Development CA280/2009, 2 December 2010.

In cases where it is necessary to distinguish between several minutes or rulings given on the same day or if it is not clear from context that the citation is to a minute or ruling and not a judgment, a brief description of the minute or ruling may be included after the date (and before any pinpoint reference) in round brackets.

Eg Wellington International Airport Ltd v Commerce Commission HC Wellington CIV-2011-485-249, 1 June 2011 (Minute No 16).

Eg Wellington International Airport Ltd v Commerce Commission HC Wellington CIV-2011-485-249, 1 June 2011 (Minute No 17) at [2].
