Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) | | English term or phrase: 60 Cal App 4th 793 (1998) | In meinem Text wird jeweils die Quelle der Rechtsentscheidung zitiert,
z.B. Weddington Productions, Inc. v. Flick, 60 Cal. App. 4th 793.
Wie gebe ich dies nun wieder, ich weiß schon dass das W.P., Inc. gegen Flick ist und dass es sich um ein Urteil des kalif. Berufungsgerichts handelt, aber weder weiß ich, was 60 soll noch 4th ???? Nochmals danke für jegliche Hilfe |
| | | 60 Cal. App. 4th 793 (1998) | Explanation:
The "60" is the number of the volume of this reporter. The reporter contains decisions by the "California Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District" (hence the abbreviation in the middle). The "793" is referring to the page on which this decision is published in the reporter; "1998" is the year of the decision.
Almost all American and British citations are set up this way (cf. The Blue Book).

Note: \"793\" is the page on which the case begins; if the reference is made to a specific part of a case (which also spans more than one page), you\'ll often see a second number after that, referring to the exact page on which the quote (or idea) is found - if the case starts on page 793, but the quote is taken from page 796, the citation will read: \"60 Cal. App. 4th 793, 796 (1998)\".

BTW - You\'ll notice that I didn\'t trnslate it, and I wouldn\'t either. The most I would do, would be to add an explanation of the citation in a footnote or in brackets, because a person wanting to find this reference is not going to find a German translation of the reporter, but rather will have to go looking for this particular cite (in English and abbreviated as such).
