Text-only copy of B.C. Law Library file: This list was compliled by the B.C. Courthouse Library Society and may have disappeared from their website. It is a good, quick reference.

The following is an alphabetical list of some common but not very precise case names together with their proper names and their citations. The list includes cases from Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Compiled for the most part before the advent of CD-ROM tables of cases and digest services, this idiosyncratic list is by no means comprehensive.

If you have any questions please contact the Vancouver Courthouse Library at (604) 660-2841 or 1-800-665-2570, or bccls@bccls.bc.ca. Note:
