A template for Hong Kong court case citations. Mainly for citing unreported cases. All parameters are optional, though in practice there's no point in using this template unless you at least specify "id".

litigants 
List of litigants, such as "Sun Er-jo v. Lo Ching and others". If a Wikipedia article using this exact string exists, a link will automatically be created. Alternately, if an article exists but another name is desired for display, a wikilink may be specified; i.e., "[[Case article|This v. That]]".
id 
The database id on judiciary.gov.hk. This is not a standard form of legal citation and is not displayed; it is merely used to generate the URL for the text of the judgment.
list 
the abbreviation for the law list to which the case belongs. If not given but "number" is given, it will be displayed as "Case No.". Right now this is simply displayed as-is; in the future it may be used to generate an internal link to the appropriate court. Values include:
  • Court of First Instance of the High Court
    • HCA (High Court Actions)
    • HCMP (Miscellaneous Proceedings (HCMP)
    • HCA (Admiralty Actions)
    • HCB (Bankruptcy Proceedings)
    • HCCL (Commercial Actions)
    • HCCW (Companies Winding-up Proceedings)
    • HCAL (Constitutional and Administrative Law Proceedings)
    • HCCT (Construction and Arbitration Proceedings)
    • HCPI (Personal Injury Actions)
    • HCAP (Probate Actions)
    • MC (Matrimonial Causes)
  • Court of Appeal
    • CACC (Court of Appeal Criminal Appeal)
    • CACV (Court of Appeal Civil Appeal)
    • CAAR (Court of Appeal Application for Review)
  • Court of Final Appeal
    • FACC (Court of FInal Appeal Criminal Appeal)
    • FACV (Court of Final Appeal Civil Appeal)
number 
the case number
year 
the year in which the case was originally filed (as opposed to the date of the hearing or judgment)
