The McGill Guide provides a hierarchy of sources to support you in citing cases. The preference is to cite using 1) neutral citation, 2) CanLII citation, or 3) other sources (e.g., database, official reporters, and unofficial reporters). The examples provided on this page, showcase neutral and CANLII citations. Follow the order of information, punctuation, and capitalization in the examples below. See section 3.1 of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (10th ed.).
