Law: UWC Law Referencing Style

Footnotes

Footnotes
Use the referencing format indicated above.
Do not use: ibid, item, op cit, loc cit and supra. The following options are available for multiple references to a work:

  • repeat full reference, or
  • use acceptable abbreviation for the title of the work, or
  • state author(s), year and page.

Example:

First reference to work:
Du Toit F South African trust law: Principles and practice 2ed (2007) 81 (hereafter South African trust law).


Thereafter:
Du Toit F South African trust law (2007) 82.


or
Du Toit F (2007) 82.

This approach can also be adopted for articles and cases.
