How to use this template

This template is used to cite cases heard by the various courts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the format established by OSCOLA.

Usage: {{Oscola | code | year | volume/neutral citation jurisdiction | reporter/neutral citation division | page/judgment | court | pinpoint }}

where code is the citation format code given below, year is the year the case was decided, volume/neutral citation jurisdiction is the first number/number-letter sequence following the date in the case citation or the code indicating the jurisdiction of the case, reporter/neutral citation division is the publication reporting the case or the division of the court (i.e. criminal, civil, administrative), page/judgment is the first page of the case in the reporter or the judgment number, court is the court where the case was adjudicated, and pinpoint is the page/paragraph where the quoted material is referenced. This is usually included after naming a case, such as: Donoghue v Stevenson {{Oscola|PROP|1952||AC|562|HL Sc|}}.

To do

Cleanup and debug: catch redlinks
Add support for ELI and other identifiers
Add support for CS1|2 parameters like access-date
- Consider moving to CS1|2 wrapper

Format selection

There are three primary formats used to cite a case: the proprietary format organized by date, the proprietary format where dates represent additional information, and the neutral format. Codes indicate which format is intended.

Formats

PROP for a proprietary reporter organized by date
PROPN for a proprietary reporter (dates additional) (Also pre-1865 citations)
NEUT for a neutral citation

Jurisdiction Codes for Neutral Citation

uk for the United Kingdom
ew for England and Wales
scot for Scotland
nie for Northern Ireland

Division Codes for Neutral Citation

Admin for administrative
Civ for civil
Ch for chancery
Crim for criminal

Proprietary by Date
Bigos v Bousted [1951] 1 All ER 92 (KB)	{{Oscola\|PROP\|1951\|1\|All ER\|92\|KB\|}}
Propriety (Date Additional)/Pre-1865 Case
