Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template links to a variety of different case reports located on the Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) website. You should look up the case you wish to cite on AustLII, then refer to the URL of the web page on which the case appears to fill in the information required by the template.

Templates

The template should be used as follows:

{{cite AustLII|litigants=|link=|SOURCE|NUM|YEAR|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=|ref=}}

or

{{cite AustLII|litigants=|link=|source=|num=|year=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=|ref=}}

or

{{cite AustLII|litigants=|link=|court=|num=|year=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=|ref=}}

"SOURCE" is a code representing the court or tribunal (see the list below), "NUM" is the medium-neutral item number, and "YEAR" is the year in which the judgment or transcript was published.

Note: ensure that no spaces appear around the parameters, or the template will not work.

The deprecated CLR and hcatranscripts functions are supported for legacy reasons only and should no longer be used. Links generated by these functions lead to a search page on the AustLII site as the former URL schema which supported these functions no longer exists. Existing uses of these functions should be updated accordingly.

Please update the template if you wish to include additional courts, or leave a message on the talk page if you need help with this.
num	Mandatory: the medium-neutral item number of the case.
year	Mandatory: the year of the case.
Other information
pinpoint	The page or paragraph number at which information or a quotation you are referring to appears, like this: "528", "p 528" or "para 25". When referring to a range of pages or paragraph numbers, separate the starting and ending numbers with an en dash like this: "528–530".
date	The date that the case was decided. You may enter the date in any format accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "1 July 1983" or "1983-07-01". It will appear a day-month-year format.
parallelcite	Parallel citations to the case. Separate the citations with commas, like this: "205 CLR 337, 176 ALR 644, 75 ALJR 277".
courtname	The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[High Court of Australia|High Court]]". To have the template automatically indicate the court and jurisdiction of a case, type "courtname=auto". For Privy Council decisions, to indicate the jurisdiction from which the case was appealed, use |juris= together with "|courtname=auto" (for example, |juris=Vic.); if the parameter is omitted, the template indicates "on appeal from Australia".
juris	The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "Australia" or "New South Wales". It is unnecessary to use this parameter if you are already using "|courtname=auto", unless you wish to specify the jurisdiction from which an appeal to the Privy Council originated: see |courtname=.
ref	This is equivalent to the corresponding parameter in Citation Style 1 templates. Use |ref={{sfnref|short reference text}} to link a citation with the corresponding inline callout {{sfn|short reference text}}. Do not place quotes around the ref value. The values |ref=harv and |ref=none do not have any special meaning.
