Template documentation This documentation is transcluded from Template:Infobox court case/doc. (edit | history) Usage This template summarizes information about a specific court case. {{Infobox Court Case | name = | court = | image = | imagesize = | caption = | full name = | date decided = | judges = | prior actions = | subsequent actions = | related actions = | opinions = }} Parameters This infobox takes a number of parameters, which are optional unless indicated otherwise: name The short name of the case, which should preferably be the same as the article title. If the parameter is omitted, the article name is used. court The name of the court that the case was heard in. [[Wikilink]] the name to a Wikipedia article about the court, if there is one. To cause the template to automatically display an image of the coat of arms of a court or of the court building, enter the name of the court as shown at {{Infobox Court Case/images}}. image An image to represent the court, such as a coat of arms or a photograph of a courthouse. Type the name of the image without the "File:" prefix and do not wikilink it. If you omit this parameter, the template automatically displays an image according to the scheme at {{Infobox Court Case/images}}. imagesize The width of the image in pixels, particularly if it is less than 180 pixels (px). Type the number without the "px" suffix ("150", not "150px"). If this parameter is omitted or called but left blank, the image size defaults to 180px. imagelink Page to link to from the image. If this is specified, |imagealt= should also be specified. caption A caption for the image. Terms in the caption can be wikilinked, if desired. full name The full name of the case, including terms like "& Anor" ("and another") or "& Ors" ("and others"). Set out here any abbreviations that appear in the short name of the case in full. date decided The date the decision was handed down. In line with "Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Linking and autoformatting of dates", do not wikilink dates. judges List the names of the judges sitting on the case, in the order of their precedence if known, separated by commas. The Chief Justice or President of the court, if he or she is hearing the case, should appear first. The order that the judges' names should appear in is usually shown in reports of the case. Where available, link a name to a Wikipedia article about the judge. prior actions Mention any prior trials or appeals. Where possible, link the name of a prior case to a Wikipedia article about the case, and link citations as described above. subsequent actions Mention any later appeals or retrials, if any. Where possible, link the name of a subsequent case to a Wikipedia article about the case, and link citations as described above. related actions Mention any related actions, for example, Mabo v Queensland|Mabo v Queensland (No 2) if the article is about Mabo v Queensland (No 1). Where possible, link the name of a related case to a Wikipedia article about the case, and link citations as described above. opinions A very brief summary of the major findings or holdings in the case. Many case reports will have headnotes or summaries of the holdings that can be modified and entered into this field. keywords A list of index terms that describe the legal issues dealt with by the case. List keywords alphabetically, separate them with commas, and link them to appropriate Wikipedia articles wherever possible; for example, "Bailment, common carrier, negligence, strict liability".
