Law bibItems: Capturing a reference title

For references in case reports, capture the party names in a bibItemTitle element. The bibItem title you capture is not necessarily the title of the referenced work. It can be a part of the reference chosen for hyperlinking the reference in the online version.

It is used only in references to case reports, where it should contain the party names. (The full reference for these can be very long.)

If the reference contains something other than the party names (e.g. a short name for the case in a second reference), capture the entire content of bibItem in thebibItemTitle.

When the bibItemTitle element is absent, the full text of the reference is hyperlinked.

There must be no more than one bibItemTitle element within a bibItem.

Example bibItem with bibItemTitle


      <bibItem class="case-ref" party1="Attorney-General for Northern Ireland" party2="Gallagher" date="1963" idnumber="[1963] AC 349">
        <bibItemTitle>
             <i>Attorney-General for Northern Ireland</i> v <i>Gallagher</i>
         </bibItemTitle>
        [1963] AC 349 </bibItem>

Example bibItemTitle


      <bibItem class="case-ref" party1="FEMOSPP" party2="Luis Echeverria and others" date="2004" idnumber="Nr 1/2004&#x2013;PS | Nr 8/2004&#x2013;PS">
        <bibItemTitle>
             <i>FEMOSPP</i> v <i>Luis Echeverria and others</i>
         </bibItemTitle>, Appeal Nr
        1/2004–PS in 'power to attract' procedure (<i>facultad de atracción</i>) Nr 8/2004–PS
      </bibItem>
