An example of proper citation is:
This citation indicates that the decision of the Court in the case entitled Coleman v Power, decided in 2004, can be found beginning at page 1 of volume 220 of the Commonwealth Law Reports.
An alternative citation, which is medium neutral, is:
This citation refers to the case entitled Coleman v Power, which was the 39th decision published by the High Court of Australia in 2004.
Both forms of citation (parallel citations) may be used so that users can access the case from different sources:[6]
However, the Australian Guide to Legal Citation advises against parallel citations for Australian cases.[7]
