23.2.3Regnal Year
Rule For statutes enacted before 1 January 1963, the regnal year should be included. It should not be included for statutes enacted from this date.
Regnal years should appear (using Arabic numerals) as follows:
Year(s) of Reign Monarch’s Name
Regnal Number of Monarch (for example, ‘2 & 3 Will 4’).
The year of reign is the number of years for which the monarch had reigned when the statute was enacted (for example, ‘1 Geo’ indicates the first year of reign). The monarch’s name should be abbreviated according to the table below. The regnal number of the monarch is the sequential number of monarchs of the same name (for example, ‘Geo 6’ indicates George VI). (A session of Parliament during the first year of reign of George VI would thus be indicated ‘1 Geo 6’).





Australian Guide to Legal Citation 249
Where a parliamentary paper is presented to both Houses of Parliament, both paper numbers should be included. They should be separated by a comma.
Examples National Audit Office, Regenerating the English Coalfields, House of Commons Paper No 84, Session 2009–10 (2009) 11.
Joint Committee on Human Rights, Prisoner Transfer Treaty with Libya, House of Lords Paper No 71, House of Commons Paper No 398, Session 2008–09 (2009) 5.
