Tip of the Day: Citing cases in footnotes

  Did you know…

… if the full name of the case is given in your text, it is not given in the footnote?

  For example:

Amongst Lord Reid’s cases where there seems to have been a late change of mind and vote include such famous cases as Rookes v Barnard, ⁴⁷ White and Carter (Councils) Ltd v McGregor, ⁴⁸ Anisminic Ltd v Foreign Compensation Commission, ⁴⁹ Home Office
v Dorset Yacht Co, ⁵⁰ and Cassell v Broome. ⁵¹
