Usage

This template is used to cite judgments listed in the British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII) database. You should look up the case you wish to cite on BAILII, then refer to the URL of the web page on which the case appears to fill in the information required by the template.

Template

{{cite BAILII
|litigants    = 
|link         = 
|court        = 
|division     = 
|year         = 
|num          = 
|para         = 
|eucase       = 
|parallelcite = 
|date         = 
|courtname    = 
|juris        = 
}}

or

{{cite BAILII|litigants=|link=|court=|division=|year=|num=|para=|eucase=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional unless otherwise specified.

Parameter Description
Case name
litigants The names of the litigants separated with v or v. for versus (in other words, the case name), like this: "Council of Civil Service Unions v. Minister for the Civil Service".
link The name of a Wikipedia article about the case, for example: "Council of Civil Service Unions v Minister for the Civil Service". This will be linked to the names of the litigants specified using the |litigants= parameter.
BAILII link: http://www.bailii.org/[country]/cases/court/division/year/num.html#parapara
court Mandatory: The neutral citation code used by BAILII to identify the court that decided the case, as follows:

The template currently only handles cases decided by the above courts. 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.

division Mandatory for some cases: For some cases, you will need to enter a code used by BAILII to identify the division of the court that decided the case.
year Mandatory: the year of the decision.
num Mandatory: the case number.
para A paragraph number of the case that you wish to cite.
Other information
eucase Mandatory for some cases: if you are citing a case by the European Court of Justice, you must indicate the case number, like this: "C-46/93".
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 "22 November 1983" or "1983-11-22". It will appear a day-month-year format.
parallelcite Parallel citations to the case. Separate the citations with commas, like this: "[1985] A.C. 374, [1984] 3 All E.R. 935".
courtname The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[Judicial functions of the House of Lords|House of Lords]]".

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".

juris The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "England and Wales" or "Scotland".

For Privy Council decisions, if you are not using "courtname=auto", to achieve a result like "P.C. (on appeal from Jamaica)", use "courtname=[[Judicial Committee of the Privy Council|P.C.]]" and "juris=Jamaica". The template will automatically add the words "on appeal from".
