Introduction
Citation tags are the most important element of the caselaw.ninja system. These tags tell the user (+ adjudicators/judges) where to find the source of the law you are citing. If you do not add the citations then your work will be meaningless.
The Citation
When citing from CanLII copy the whole line from the cite section of the case, see:
The text that we extracted from above is:
Maclaren v Pregel, 2021 CanLII 57302 (ON SCSM), <https://canlii.ca/t/jgqmj>, retrieved on 2021-08-10
Citation Tags
Using the citation we gathered above we will now format into a ref-tag
<ref name="Maclaren">Maclaren v Pregel, 2021 CanLII 57302 (ON SCSM), <https://canlii.ca/t/jgqmj>, retrieved on 2021-08-10</ref>
Each tag-name (eg..<ref name="Maclaren">) must me unique for the page it is on.
