MEDIUM NEUTRAL CITATION SYSTEM APPLICATION TO ATD, ATL, DFAT & AustLII WEBSITE
The Commonwealth Government has chosen to adopt the medium neutral citation system to pursue two aims: of improving the access to the Australian Treaties consultation and of establishing a digital archive of decisions directly available to all publishers and the public.
The citation format presents the following structure: [<year of publication>] <designator> <sequential number>.
Like the example shows: "Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel (New York, 9 December 1994)" is cited as "Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel (New York, 9 December 1994)" [2001] ATS 3.
Through a unique three-part identifier you are able to find precise references about individual treaties and other legal materials, which include the citation inserted in the above-mentioned documents.
The purpose of this method consists of maximising the efficiency of both the ATD and the ATL; the Treaties Secretariat proposes that in future such references are accompanied by the relevant identifier.
Ex.: "Agreement Between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt Regarding Cooperation on Protection the Welfare of Children ( Cairo, 22 October 2000 )
[ 2002 ] ATS 3
should contain other Conventions as set out below:
"Vienna Convention on Consular Relations" ( 24 April 1963 ) [ 1973 ] ATS 7
The information I found about Media Neutral Citation is a document with information about the uses of this type of citation.
The citations lack a volume number and use the abbreviation of the court, rather than the abbreviation of a law report.
Paragraph numbers, if used, are enclosed in square brackets at the end and preceded by ‘at’. This citation form precedes the law report in which it is later published. If it has not been published, then only the Media Neutral Citation is used alone.
The media neutral citation would take this form: Case name [Year] Court abbreviation Judgment number Pinpoint, and there are an example: Damaris v Falzon [2009] NSWSC 18 at [9]
Finally, the information gave us some abbreviations that are used frecuently like:
ACompT Australian Competition Tribunal
ACopyT Australian Copyright Tribunal
ACTSC Supreme Court of the ACT
ADFDAT Defence Forces Discipline Appeal Tribunal
AFPDT Australian Federal Police Disciplinary Tribunal
