Parameter Description
Case name
litigants The names of the litigants separated with v or v. for versus (in other words, the case name), like this: "Ngan v. R.".

court
or
source
Mandatory: The neutral citation code used by NZLII to identify the court that decided the case or series of law reports, as follows:

The template currently only handles cases decided by the above courts or reported by the above series of law reports. Please update the template if you wish to include additional courts, or leave a message on the talk page if you need help with this.

year Mandatory: the year of the decision.
num Mandatory: the case number.
Other information
pinpoint The page or paragraph number at which information or a quotation you are referring to appears, like this: "528", "p. 528" or "para. 25". When referring to a range of pages or paragraph numbers, separate the starting and ending numbers with an en dash like this: "528–530".
date The date that the case was decided. You may enter the date in any format accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "9 October 1998" or "1998-10-09". It will appear a day-month-year format.
parallelcite Parallel citations to the case. If there is more than one parallel citation, separate the citations with commas, like this: "[2011] 2 N.Z.L.R. 726, (2011) 25 N.Z.T.C. 20-037".
courtname The court that decided the case. The name of the court can be wikilinked, like this: "[[Supreme Court of New Zealand|Supreme Court]]".

To have the template automatically indicate the court and jurisdiction of a case, type "courtname=auto".

juris The jurisdiction that decided the case, such as "New Zealand". It is unnecessary to use this parameter if you are already using "courtname=auto".
