    Is anybody aware of the correct citation procedure for cases of the above court. Cases on the ECHR web tend to have a 5 digit reference number, but I'm not sure if this is adequate or if there is a more extensive citation.

    Thanks

    Usually it is cited as it appears in Hudoc, named and with the application number static.

    COPLAND v. THE UNITED KINGDOM - Application no. 62617/00

    If you're citing a case that is reported in the European Human Rights report it is (year) vo. number EHRR page number

    e.g. Lawless v. Ireland (1961) 1 EHRR 15

    Yes, of course, this is the formal way to cite if it is reported in EHRR. I believe most if not all cases are reported. Apologies if I misled above.

    OP, I use this for everything - Oscola. It's Oxford law's bible for legal citation. Has everything you need in it.

    Ps. Mods, might be worth putting it in a sticky.

    Yep - I am going to create a sticky with the various legal research sites on it. As well as the various other self-help sites.
