Legislation – Common Names

JustCite recognises a variety of Common Names for documents that are well known, to ensure JustCite remains easy to use. These are the common names for legislation known to JustCite. You can search for Acts on this list using their abbreviations rather than the full Short Title. For example, a search for s1 ERA will return s1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

Note that the common name ‘PACE’ is not supported for the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. This is because “pace” is a dictionary word and the effect would be to exclude legitimate search results with the word “pace” in their title or keywords, such as Pace Shipping Co Ltd v Churchgate Nigeria Ltd [2010] 1 Lloyd’s Rep 183.

Legislation common name support is currently confined to UK legislation.
