Finding the most authoritative reporting

A law report is a published report of a judgment, containing additional information and facts relating to the case.

Judgments may be reported by any number of law reports. However, some series are regarded as more authoritative than others. In Scots Law the Session Cases are the most authoritative, followed by Scots Law Times. In England the Law Reports series is seen as the most authoritative.

You should always cite the most authoritative series which has reported the case.
