Scottish Cases
For Scottish cases, follow the same pattern and basic fields as you use for
English cases, but setting keywords to sc.
Scottish cases will be formatted in the same way as English cases, 31 except
that where the year is an essential part of the citation it is set without brackets
rather than with square brackets in the English style (but neutral citations
do have square brackets).
Decisions of the House of Lords and the Supreme Court should have
keywords set to gb (not sc), in order to ensure correct indexing. This means,
however, that if you cite to a scottish report in which square brackets should
not be used, bl-oscola needs help (or it will assume that it should follow the
English style for such cases). In such a case use the option scottish-style =
true. Example 31 shows this.
@jurisdiction{hislop42,
}
title = {Hislop v Durham},
date = {1842},
volume = {4},
reporter = {D},
pages = {1168},
keywords = {sc},
@jurisdiction{adams03,
}
title = {Adams v Advocate General},
date = {2003},
reporter = {SC},
pages = {171},
institution = {OH},
keywords = {sc},
@jurisdiction{dodds03,
}
title = {Dodds v HM Advocate},
date = {2003},
reporter = {JC},
pages = {8},
keywords = {sc},
Example 30 shows a case report in the ‘Land Ct’ series of the SLT. I’ve
chosen to put this in the series field—though frankly it would make no difference
to include it as part of the reporter.
