Referencing - UK & EU Law: ECHR case

If possible, use a report of the case from the European Human Rights Reports (EHRR).

This guidance applies whether you found the judgment in print or online.

Footnote (if you HAVE given the case name in the text of your work):
e.g. (2010) 51 EHRR 10

e.g. Omojudi v UK (2010) 51 EHRR 10

Bibliography:
e.g. Omojudi v UK (2010) 51 EHRR 10

To pinpoint, follow the citation with a comma and the page number. To pinpoint several pages, insert a dash between the page numbers:
e.g. Omojudi v UK (2010) 51 EHRR 10, 29

If the judgment was not reported in EHRR, use Reports of Judgments and Decisions, e.g. Osman v UK ECHR 1998–VIII 3124.

• Always give party names in italics
• Separate adverse parties with an italic v
• Don't include and another
• If multiple parties, name only the first claimant and the first defendant
• If an individual, don't include forenames or initials
• Use Re, not In re or In the matter of
• Use Ex p, not Ex parte
• Include terms indicating corporate status (Ltd, plc)
• Abbreviate common words and phrases (see Oscola appendix 4.2.4).

The year is always given in (round brackets).

• Use the standard abbreviation for the European Human Rights Reports - EHRR
• No punctuation is needed - use EHRR, not E.H.R.R.

From 2001, judgments in the European Human Rights Reports have been numbered consecutively using case numbers, e.g. Omojudi v UK (2010) 51 EHRR 10 is the 10th case published in volume 51, 2010.
