OSCOLA - Help desperately needed

I have been using OSCOLA all the way through my PhD and I'm getting close to the end so I want to try and resolve the issues I have with my style format before then end. Up to now I have just worked around the issues.

I have fixed some but I just can't sort out the rest so I thought I would ask the community. I'll just ask for help with the biggest issue.

1. The Tail: Under the OSCOLA style, I need to have the court and year of judgment as the very last part of the citation. Here is what I need to achieve:

Reed v Wiser 555 F 2d 1079, 1089 (2nd Cir 1978).

What I have been doing is using the suffix field to enter the "(2nd Cir 1978)" but I would ideally like to be able to amend my style so I could use the "court" field. However, if I use the "court" field I end up with the following:

Reed v Wiser 555 F 2d 1079 (2nd Cir 1978) 1089.

It's only a small thing but I just can't fix it.

Thank you :)

David
