Parameters

This infobox takes a number of parameters, which are optional unless indicated otherwise:

name

The short name of the case, which should preferably be the same as the article title. If the parameter is omitted, the article name is used.

court (mandatory)

The name of the court that the case was heard in. [[Wikilink]] the name to a Wikipedia article about the court, if there is one.

image

An image to represent the court, such as a coat of arms. Type the name of the image without the "Image:" prefix and do not wikilink it. If you omit this parameter, the template tries to display an image of the coat of arms of a court or of the court building, according to the scheme at {{Infobox Court Case/images}}.

imagesize

The width of the image in pixels, if it is less than 220px. Type the number without the "px" suffix ("150", not "150px"). If this parameter is omitted, the image size defaults to 220px.

caption

A caption for the image. Terms in the caption can be wikilinked, if desired.

full name

The full name of the case, including terms like "& Anor" ("and another") or "& Ors" ("and others"). Set out here any abbreviations that appear in the short name of the case in full.

date decided

The date the decision was handed down. In line with "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Linking and autoformatting of dates", do not wikilink dates.

citations

The number assigned to the case by the court, and/or legal citations to official reports of the case. If a particular case report is available online, hyperlink the citation in question to the website like this: "[http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/index.php?p1=3&p2=3&k=2b&case=130&code=masi&p3=4 General List No. 130]".

transcripts

External links to transcripts of the case, where available.

judges

List the names of the judges sitting on the case, in the order of their precedence if known, separated by commas. The Chief Justice or President of the court, if he or she is hearing the case, should appear first. The order that the judges' names should appear in is usually shown in reports of the case. Where available, link a name to a Wikipedia article about the judge.

prior actions

Mention any prior trials or appeals, if the case is an appeal decision. You may also want to mention related cases in a sequence, e.g., Mabo (No. 1) and Mabo (No. 2). Provide external links to legal citations if possible.

subsequent actions

Mention any later appeals or retrials, where applicable. You may also want to mention related cases in a sequence, e.g., Mabo (No. 1) and Mabo (No. 2). Provide external links to legal citations if possible.

opinions

A very brief summary of the major findings or holdings in the case. Many case reports will have headnotes or summaries of the holdings that can be modified and entered into this field.

keywords

A list of keywords that describe the legal issues dealt with by the case. List keywords alphabetically, separate them with commas, and link them to appropriate Wikipedia articles wherever possible; for example, "[[Bailment]], [[common carrier]], [[negligence]], [[strict liability]]".
