Citation/referencing Oscola

ValentinM49 · June 9, 2022

Hi, I am new on Zotero and I am using the Oscola referencing system. Surprisingly, the way the referencing/citation is made via Zotero is different from the Oscola guidance document.

For example for this case: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:61983CJ0240

Zotero:
Procureur de la République v Association de défense des brûleurs d’huiles usagées (ADBHU) [1985] ECJ Case 240/83.

Oscola:
Case 240/83 Procureur de la République v ADBHU [1985] ECR 531

Could you please explain that issue to me please?

Best,

Valentin

Legal citations in general (and case citations in particular) require specific data entry in Zotero to come out right. You can't rely on automated import.
See the OSCOLA sample library for examples: https://www.zotero.org/groups/229950/oscola_samples/library
