Order	Citation	Reasoning
1	[1999] Ch 345	The Chancery Reports are part of the Official Reports produced by the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting (ICLR). This family of reports is top of the hierarchy and should always be used if the case has been reported here irrespective of where else it has been reported.
2=	[1998] 3 WLR 1234	The Weekly Law Reports are also produced by the ICLR and contain the full text of the judgment but not details of arguments advanced by counsel.
2=	[1999] 1 All ER 98	The All England Reports are also full text reports. Although they are not produced by the ICLR they are equal in the hierarchy to the WLR.
4	[1999] 2 Cr App R 345	The Criminal Appeal Reports are a specialist report in that they provide full text judgments in cases involving criminal law or sentencing. They are lower in the hierarchy than general full-text series of reports.
5	[1998] Crim LR 42	The Criminal Law Review provides a summary of the case and the reasoning of the judge as well as a comment on that case. Although they are low in the hierarchy in this respect, they can be useful for helping you to understand the case and providing a critique of the reasoning used.
