Legislation (UK):

 

Legislation (EU):

When citing EC legislation, note the Legislation type, its number and title, then publication details from the Official Journal (OJ) of the European Communities. The OJ citation is given in the order: [year] OJ series Number/Page. The L series of the OJ contains legislation.

Example:
Council Directive (EC) 2001/29 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society [2001] OJ L167/10

 

Case:

 

Note that the reportercite above ([2004] 1 AC 1034]) is an optional addendum to the neutral cite, so this format would work for both published and unpublished cases.
