CEMS Harvard Referencing Style: Statutes and Acts

Introduction

Laws have two titles: a long official title and a short title. The short title is mostly used for in-text references. The title of the act can be followed by its number and year (as relevant to the act, not the year of publication). Add (as amended) if the title does not include the words amended/amendment.
