Usage

This template is used to cite cases decided by the courts of Canada available in the Canadian Legal Information Institute (CanLII) database. You should look up the case you wish to cite on CanLII, then refer to the URL of the web page on which the case appears to fill in the information required by the template.

Template

{{cite CanLII
|litigants    = 
|link         = 
|year         = 
|court        = 
|num          = 
|format       = 
|pinpoint     = 
|parallelcite = 
|date         = 
|courtname    = 
|juris        = 
}}

("court" can be replaced with "source")

or

{{cite CanLII|litigants=|link=|year=|court=|num=|format=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=}}
{{cite CanLII|litigants=|link=|year=|source=|num=|format=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=}}

or

{{cite CanLII|litigants=|link=|[year]|court=|[num]|format=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=}}
{{cite CanLII|litigants=|link=|[year]|source=|[num]|format=|pinpoint=|parallelcite=|date=|courtname=|juris=}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional unless otherwise specified.

Parameter Description
Case name
litigants The names of the litigants separated with v or v. for versus (in other words, the case name), like this: "R. v. Oakes".
link The name of a Wikipedia article about the case, for example: "R. v. Oakes". This will be linked to the names of the litigants specified using the |litigants= parameter.
CanLII link: http://www.canlii.org/[en or fr]/[country]/[court]/doc/[year]/[year][court][num]/[year][court][num].html
year Mandatory: the year of the decision. Alternatively, you can omit the parameter name |year= and type the year of the decision as the first unnamed parameter after the template name (see the examples below).
court
or
source
Mandatory in some cases: the code indicating the court which issued the decision, as follows:
Federal courts Nova Scotia
Alberta Nunavut
British Columbia Ontario
Manitoba Prince Edward Island
New Brunswick Quebec
Newfoundland and Labrador Saskatchewan
Northwest Territories Yukon Territory

For decisions with a neutral citation in the form "1986 CanLII 46" (the URL will be in the form "http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/1986/1986canlii46/1986canlii46.html"), you must also add the |format= parameter like this: "format=canlii".

The |court= or |source= parameter may be omitted if the court code is "scc".

The template currently only handles cases decided by the above courts. Please update the template if you wish to include additional courts, or leave a message on the talk page if you need help with this.

num Mandatory: the case number. Alternatively, you can omit the parameter name |num= and type the case number as the second unnamed parameter after the template name (see the examples below).
format Mandatory in some cases: if a case has a neutral citation in the form "1986 CanLII 46" (the URL will be in the form "http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/1986/1986canlii46/1986canlii46.html"), type: "format=canlii".
Other information
pinpoint The page or paragraph number at which information or a quotation you are referring to appears, like this: "528", "p. 528" or "para. 25". When referring to a range of pages or paragraph numbers, separate the starting and ending numbers with an en dash like this: "528–530".
date The date that the case was decided. You may enter the date in any format accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "9 October 1998" or "1998-10-09". It will appear a day-month-year format.
parallelcite Parallel citations to the case. Separate the citations with commas, like this: "[2006] 1 S.C.R. 256, 264 D.L.R. (4th) 577".
courtname The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[Supreme Court of Canada|S.C.]]".

To have the template automatically indicate the court and jurisdiction of a case, type "courtname=auto".

juris The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "Canada". It is unnecessary to use this parameter if you are already using "courtname=auto".
