AGLC4 Rule 2.2.4: Reported Decisions: Starting Page

After the series abbreviation, give the first page of the case. Where a series identifies cases by a unique reference number instead of a starting page, give that number with any symbol that goes with it.

AGLC4 page 52

Formatting

  • The starting page follows the series abbreviation after a single space.
  • A unique reference keeps its symbol, such as the paragraph mark, and its internal hyphen.
  • Where a unique reference is used, pinpoints are to the report's own page numbers, which may contain commas as printed.
  • A series name that is not abbreviated is written in full in roman.
