This will produce an index entry of:

[1984] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 235},
Antaios Compania Naviera SA v Salen Rederierna AB (The Nema)

But you also need to add an entry for its ship’s name. To do that, assuming
the relevant index is called ukcases, you would simply write:
\index[ukcases]{Nema, The@\emph{Nema,} The|see{Antaios
Compania Naviera SA v Salen Rederierna SA}}
and the relevant entry would be produced.
Legislation
These techniques really come into their own when dealing with complex
references to statutes or treaties.
To see the problem, you have to understand how bl-oscola handles a
citation like \cite[2(1)]{ucta}. First it tries to break down the postnote (the
pinpoint citation) into two parts: the first part (equivalent to section) and
the second (the subsection). Having done that, it then inserts and entry into
the index with a ‘depth’ of three: UCTA, s 1, (1). This is normally what one
wants.
It copes perfectly well, also, with lists of references. If you had entered a
command like \cite[1(2), 2(3)]{ucta} the package will put in two references:
one for section 1, subsection 2, and one for section 2, subsection 3.
However, it has problems in two cases. First, with ranges. If you give a
range like \cite[1--3(1)]{ucta}, the package has no way of knowing how
many intermediate parts are implicitly cited. In that case, it is lazy: it automatically
adds only the first citation to the index (in that case, section 1). If
you want other parts added, you should do it manually. For instance with:
\cite[1--3(1)]{ucta} % Prints citation, indexes s 1
\indexonly[2]{ucta} % Adds s 2 to the index
\indexonly[3(1)]{ucta}% Adds s 3(1) to the index
The second, and more serious problem, is with references that are out of
the ordinary ‘run’, for instance to schedules and paragraphs. There’s a good
