Nominate reports were published for hundreds of years before the ICLR was established in 1865.
Reports were published under the names of individual court reporters e.g. Acton, Coke, Moore etc. Most nominate reports were later reprinted in the Revised Reports (RR) and English Reports (ER).
Rule 23.1.3 of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC) sets out how to cite judgments published in nominate reports.
