Tables and Bibliographies

The table of cases, the table of legislation, and the r 1.7 bibliography with its surname-first authors and double em-dashes.

A longer work — a dissertation, a thesis, a book — opens with tables of the primary sources and closes with a bibliography of the secondary ones (rr 1.6–1.7). Pincite builds all of them from your saved sources.

The table of cases

Case names are not italicised in tables, and cases sort by the first significant word — so *Re Farquar’s Estate* is tabled as ‘Farquar’s Estate, Re’ (r 1.6.2). A ship or trademark case gets a second entry under the vessel or mark, with an italicised See pointing at the full name.

The table of legislation

Statutes list alphabetically by first significant word; statutory instruments list separately at the end (r 1.6.3).

The bibliography

The bibliography lists secondary sources only — the tables already carry the primary ones. Three changes from the footnote form (r 1.7): the surname comes first with no comma before the initials, initials replace forenames, and entries end without a full stop.

Works by one author run oldest first, solo works before co-authored ones, and a repeated author collapses to a double em-dash. Unattributed works open the bibliography, their titles behind a double em-dash.
