Ambiguity of Case Law Citation and Possible Solution
Vol.6,No.11(2015)
This article reflects the theme of ambiguous citation of the case law. The ambiguous citations may cause two problems - the problem of factualunt raceability due to the use of uncertain identificator and the problem of ambiguity of the used version. As the article shows, there are differences between different expressions of the same decision. Therefore, it is necessary to insist on the unambiguous identification of the decision. The article further presents two possible approaches that could solve these issues. The issue of untraceability can be solved by the ECLI identifier and the related database. The issue of the ambiguity of the used version can be solved by the proper citation of the case law, often going beyond the standard of citation.
