Westlaw Australia Tip - Digest

Last Published: October 12, 2021

Learn how to see which subsequent cases cite a case on a point of law.

In the Citing References tab, hover over the Digest Number next to a citing case to see the legal issue it considered when it looked at the case you are reviewing. Digest entries summarise the key legal issues raised in a case and can be found under the Document tab.

Click the Digest number to go to the main case's Digest section in the Document tab.

Here, you can see how the main case held against this point of law, as well as being able to easily narrow the cases that cited this one on the same point of law.
