Q uses square brackets [ ]
as opposed to round brackets ( )
What is the difference between square brackets and round brackets in a case citation?
Whether a case citation has square or round brackets depends on the law report series in which the case report is published. Some law report series have more than one volume per year, usually numbered 1,2 3 etc. In order to find the correct volume of the law report series, you will need the year – otherwise, how will you know which volume 1 you need? In these circumstances, the year will appear in square brackets, to indicate that it is vital in locating the report.
Example: Corr v IBC Vehicles Ltd [2008] 1 AC 884
