AGLC4 Rule 12.2.8: Cases: Identifying Judges

Judges are identified in line with rule 10.2.8. When the judgment of the tribunal itself is cited, including a principal judgment, no judges are named and (The Court) is not added. When a separate or dissenting opinion is cited, the judge is named after the pinpoint, with Judge written in full.

AGLC4 page 181

Formatting

  • A judge's name goes in round brackets, roman, one space after the pinpoint, with no comma before it.
  • The word Judge is spelled out in full before the name; more than one judge takes Judges.
  • Nothing is added when the judgment of the tribunal or chamber as a whole is cited: no (The Court) and no list of the judges.
  • The final full stop comes after the closing bracket.
