Citation

In your case management for the LII you will work with two types of citation:

  • a print citation, e.g. KWADWO v SONO [1984-86] 1 GLR 7-16, which will be referred to as a law report citation or a parallel citation from now on; and the

  • Medium Neutral Citation (MNC) – a global standard for electronic publication of judgments. The LII system will allow you to display both on the website, thus facilitating the researcher in finding information.

The LII system assigns MNCs automatically unless an editor overrides the assignment by entering the MNC assigned by a court.
