Can the Book of Authorities contain excerpts and electronic versions of Judgments?
In the case of reasons for judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada, only relevant excerpts (from the Canada Supreme Court Reports or from an electronic database if the reasons were delivered after 1994 and the paragraph numbering in the reasons is consistent with the numbering of the SCR’s) need be included in the book of authorities. In all other cases, the book of authorities must contain the reasons for judgment in full unless these are available electronically in which case the headnote and relevant excerpt only are required. (R. 44).
