Citation of a Statute in several footnotes
I was also hoping someone could help with this.
I have saved a statute in Zotero as "Statute".
Item Type: Statute
Name of Act: Arbitration Act
Date Enacted: 1965
I am trying to refer to the Statute in several footnotes, and make reference to a different section of the same act.
But Zotero only shows the section I have referred to in the FIRST footnote. All subsequent footnotes make reference ONLY to the name of the statute, and they leave out the specific section which I am trying to refer to.
So for instance:
Fn 1: Arbitration Act 1965 s 12.
Fn 2: Arbitration Act (n 1).
Fn 3: Arbitration Act (n 1).
In other words, the reference to the Act in footnote 2 and 3 only make reference to the name of the Act and then cross reference to footnote 1, without inserting the section. (On each occasion I add the section in the pop-up window in word).
Am I doing something wrong?

I downloaded it from the style list.
I have since tried to replace Zotero with Juris-M. And it seems to do the same. I have had to save Acts as "Bills" rather than "Statutes".
PS: in the JM OSCOLA style i notice that whenever the word 'ibid' appears it is with a small 'i'. Is that correct?
Must admit, I am not at all sure I know how to use this programe at all.
Title: Companies Act 22 of 1996
Short title: Companies Act
The problem is in all the footnotes, subsequent references all put in the full Title. So it ends up looking like this:
1. Companies Act 22 of 1996 s 14.
2. Companies Act 22 of 1996 (n 1) s 18.
3. Companies Act 22 of 1996 (n 1) s 105.
I would have thought that the "Short Title" would have been used instead in all subsequent references?
