    Tip! You can search for a case by either its name or its citation. Sometimes there's variation in how the names of cases are written, particuarly if one of the parties has a long name. This means you may not find it if you search for it by its name. [Learn more about case citations here](https://radar.brookes.ac.uk/radar/file/559c4f41-a60a-409c-9905-ff512a24537d/1/Using%20law%20reports.pdf).
