En bref
Un court commentaire d’une décision de justice anglaise sur la police. Chaque arrêt, loi ou article invoqué est cité dans une note numérotée en bas de page, dans le style des facultés de droit britanniques.
Ce que vous allez composer
Un tiré à part de la série de commentaires d’arrêts d’une revue de droit : quatre pages sur Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, la décision de 2018 de la Cour suprême sur les cas où la police est tenue d’un devoir de vigilance. La page mesure 162 × 240 mm, en miroir, en Libre Baskerville de 9,4/13,6 pt, et la première page s’ouvre sur une bande bordeaux avec le nom de l’affaire composé en italique de 60 pt. L’auteur écrit chaque source sous forme de clé avec son renvoi précis, [@caparo1990, 617–18], et Postext compose 23 notes de bas de page selon OSCOLA, la norme de citation des facultés de droit britanniques : noms d’affaires en italique, lois en romain, pas de point après AC, HL ou edn, ibid pour la source de la note précédente, et Robinson (n 1) [55] au-delà. Les sources sont réelles ; l’auteur et la revue ne le sont pas.
Cette recette répond à
- Comment citer la jurisprudence et la législation en notes de bas de page, selon le style OSCOLA des écrits juridiques britanniques ?
- Comment composer les citations en notes de bas de page, style Chicago, avec des formes abrégées pour les citations suivantes ?
La réponse courte
// The text cites with [@robinson2018, para 21]; OSCOLA is a note style, so each citation
// becomes a footnote: the case in full the first time, "ibid" when the note before cites
// the same authority, "Robinson (n 1) [55]" after that. Case names come out italic,
// statutes roman, and no abbreviation takes a full stop (AC, HL, UKSC, edn, n, s).

Préparation
#1 · Une note OSCOLA pour chaque source
Le code est dans la réponse courte plus haut. OSCOLA est un style à notes : [@robinson2018, para 21] laisse un numéro en exposant après le point, et ses mots vont au pied de la page. La note 1 donne l’affaire en entier, Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police [2018] UKSC 4, [2018] AC 736 ; la note 2, qui la cite de nouveau aussitôt, se lit ibid [21] ; la note 8, après que d’autres affaires se sont intercalées, se lit Robinson (n 1) [26–27]. Un article de revue de droit ne cite que dans ses notes : bibliography.auto: false tient donc la liste des ouvrages hors de la dernière page.
#2 · Une affaire est une donnée, écrite comme l’impriment les recueils
Une affaire est un élément CSL de type: legal_case : son nom dans title, la juridiction dans authority, la série du recueil dans container-title et la première page dans page. OSCOLA met l’année d’un recueil entre crochets quand l’année identifie le volume, comme pour les Appeal Cases : la recette écrit donc cette année dans volume, suivie du numéro de volume. volume: "[1990] 2" donne [1990] 2 AC 605 (HL). Une affaire jugée après 2001 a aussi une citation neutre : authority: UKSC, number: "4" et issued: 2018 donnent [2018] UKSC 4, suivi du recueil. Une loi est un type: legislation avec l’année dans son titre et sans issued, pour que l’année ne s’imprime pas deux fois, et [@hra1998, § 6] cite une section sous la forme s 6.
#3 · Deux correctifs au style fourni
// The bundled oscola.csl writes a paragraph pinpoint in brackets only in a case's first
// note: a later note printed "Robinson (n 1) para 55" and "ibid 27", and a repeated
// statute "ibid 7". These two replacements give "Robinson (n 1) [55]", "ibid [27]" and
// "ibid s 7", as OSCOLA prints them.
const LOCATOR = `<macro name="label-locator"><choose>
<if type="legal_case" locator="paragraph">
<text variable="locator" prefix="[" suffix="]"/></if>
<else-if locator="page"><text variable="locator"/></else-if>
<else><group delimiter=" "><label form="short" strip-periods="true" variable="locator"/>
<text variable="locator"/></group></else>
</choose></macro>`;
const OSCOLA = STYLES.oscola
.replace(/<macro name="label-locator">[\s\S]*?<\/macro>/, LOCATOR)
.replace(/(<if position="ibid-with-locator">[\s\S]*?)<text variable="locator"\/>/,
'$1<text macro="label-locator"/>');
Le fichier oscola.csl fourni ne met entre crochets un renvoi à un paragraphe que dans la première note d’une affaire. Les notes suivantes imprimaient para 55 et ibid 27, et une seconde note renvoyant à la même loi perdait son s. Le correctif remplace une macro et une ligne du XML du style avant la composition et passe le résultat comme style personnalisé : le texte et les références ne changent pas.
#4 · Le nom de l’affaire sur la bande
const BAND = 124; // mm from the trim's top
const big = (id, content, family, size, color, y, extra = {}) => ({
kind: 'text', id, content, fontFamily: family, fontSize: pt(size), lineHeight: 1.08, color,
align: 'left', overflow: 'wrap', ...extra,
placement: { ...at('container', 'top-left', 0, y), size: { width: mm(118), height: 'auto' } },
});
const opener = {
enabled: true,
minHeight: mm(BAND - MARGIN.top + 8), // the text starts 8 mm under the band
slot: { elements: [
{ kind: 'box', id: 'band', style: { backgroundColor: col('claret') },
placement: { ...at('page', 'top-left'), size: { width: 'fill', height: mm(BAND) } } },
big('kicker', '{attr.kicker}', LABEL, 7.4, col('tint'), 2,
{ fontWeight: 600, letterSpacing: pt(1.4), textTransform: 'uppercase' }),
big('case', '{attr.case}', TEXT, 60, col('paper'), 9, { italic: true }),
big('parties', '{attr.parties}', TEXT, 12.5, col('tint'), 33, { italic: true }),
big('citation', '{attr.citation}', TEXT, 10.5, col('tint'), 40),
{ kind: 'box', id: 'hairline', style: { backgroundColor: col('tint') },
placement: { ...at('container', 'top-left', 0, 51),
size: { width: mm(30), height: pt(0.6) } } },
big('title', '{titleText}', DISPLAY, 27, col('paper'), 57),
big('byline', '{attr.byline}', LABEL, 8.5, col('tint'), 82,
{ fontWeight: 500, letterSpacing: pt(0.5) }),
] },
};
La bande descend de 124 mm depuis la coupe. Le nom de l’affaire, les parties et la citation sont des attributs du titre : un autre commentaire de la série ne change que son Markdown. Robinson est composé en Libre Baskerville Italic de 60 pt parce qu’OSCOLA met les noms d’affaires en italique, et la citation dessous reste en romain, comme dans les notes.

// Each colour carries its hex and the palette entry it follows.
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
const colorPalette = Object.entries({ ...palette, 'main-color': palette.claret })
.map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));

title: "Acts, Omissions and the Police" author: "Harriet Okafor" --- # Acts, Omissions and the Police {#comment kicker="Notes on Obligations · Case Comment" case="Robinson" parties="v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police" citation="[2018] UKSC 4, [2018] AC 736" byline="Harriet Okafor"} On a July afternoon in 2008 two detectives tried to arrest a man suspected of dealing drugs on a shopping street in the centre of Huddersfield. He resisted, and the three men fell against Mrs Robinson, a woman of 76 who was walking past, and knocked her to the ground. The trial judge found that the officers had been careless in attempting the arrest where and when they did, but held that the police owed no duty of care to a passer-by hurt in the course of their work against crime. The Court of Appeal agreed. The Supreme Court did not.[@robinson2018] Lord Reed, with whom Lady Hale and Lord Hodge agreed, began by correcting a reading of the law that had gone uncorrected for almost thirty years.[@robinson2018, para 21] This comment argues that the case matters less for what it decided about the police than for the method it restored. A court asked whether a duty of care exists should look first for an established category and reason from it by analogy; it should weigh questions of policy only when the case is new. ## There is no “Caparo test” The modern law begins with Lord Atkin’s statement that a person must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which he can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure his neighbour.[@donoghue1932, 580] In the 1970s the House of Lords tried to turn that statement into a general formula. Lord Wilberforce proposed two stages: a relationship of proximity in which harm was foreseeable, and then any considerations that ought to negative or limit the duty.[@anns1978, 751–52] The formula expanded liability faster than the courts could defend, and *Anns* was overruled in 1990.[@murphy1991] In the same year Lord Bridge described the ingredients of a duty as foreseeability of damage, a relationship of proximity, and a situation in which the court considers it fair, just and reasonable to impose a duty.[@caparo1990, 617–18] Many judges went on to apply it as a three-stage test to every claim, including claims for physical injury caused by a positive act. Lord Bridge had said the opposite. He doubted that any single test could settle every case and preferred that the law develop novel categories incrementally.[^brennan] [^brennan]: Lord Bridge adopted the words of Brennan J in the High Court of Australia; see [@caparo1990, 618; @sutherland1985, 481] *Robinson* restores that reading. Where a case falls within an established category, the court applies the law as settled; the question of what is fair, just and reasonable arises only where the court is asked to go further.[@robinson2018, para 26–27] Physical injury caused by a careless positive act has been an established category since *Donoghue*. The officers’ decision to make the arrest in a crowded street was such an act, the risk to people nearby was foreseeable, and nothing more was needed to found a duty.[@robinson2018, para 74] ## Acts and omissions The common law does not, in general, impose a duty to protect another from harm caused by a third party or by nature.[@smith1987, 271] Lord Hoffmann gave the reason in political terms: it is less of an invasion of a person’s freedom to require him to take care when he chooses to act than to require him to act at all, and a duty to rescue invites the question why it should fall on one bystander rather than another.[@stovin1996, 943–44] The rule has exceptions: where the defendant has assumed responsibility, controls the source of the danger, or has created it. Read in this light, the earlier police cases were cases about omissions. In *Hill* the mother of the last victim of Peter Sutcliffe sued the force that had failed to catch him. The House of Lords held that no duty was owed to her daughter, who was one of an indeterminate public, and added reasons of policy about the effect of liability on police work.[@hill1989, 63] For thirty years *Hill* was cited as if it gave the police a general immunity. Lord Reed treated the policy reasons as a supplement to the ordinary rule: the police, like anyone else, owe no duty to prevent harm by a third party, unless one of the exceptions applies; but they owe the ordinary duty not to injure people by what they themselves do.[@robinson2018, para 55] The distinction had already decided *Michael*, where a call to the emergency services was wrongly graded and the caller was killed before officers arrived. The majority held that the police had assumed no responsibility for her safety and so owed her no duty in negligence.[@michael2015, para 97–100] Academic opinion had divided on the point. One view holds that a public body set up to protect people should bear a narrow duty where it knows of a specific threat to a specific person;[^peripheral] the other, that the omissions rule applies to public authorities as it applies to private persons, and that any wider duty is for Parliament.[@nolan2011] [^peripheral]: [@tofaris2016, 130–32; cf @stapleton1995, 304–06, on the deterrent value of claims against parties who are not the primary wrongdoer] ## The statutory route Section 6(1) of the Human Rights Act 1998 makes it unlawful for a public authority to act in a way that is incompatible with a Convention right,[@hra1998, § 6] and a victim may bring proceedings against it under section 7.[@hra1998, § 7] In *Michael* the claim under article 2 of the Convention was allowed to go to trial even though the claim in negligence failed.[@michael2015, para 139] In *DSD* the Supreme Court held the police liable under article 3 for serious failures in investigating a series of sexual assaults by a taxi driver.[@dsd2018, para 24] The concern behind *Hill*, that liability would push the police into defensive practices, has a statutory answer of its own. When a court decides what steps a defendant should have taken to meet the standard of care, it may consider whether requiring those steps might prevent a desirable activity from being undertaken.[@compensation2006, § 1] That is a question of breach, not of duty. The officers in *Robinson* were not expected to stop arresting suspects, only to choose the moment with some regard for the people on the pavement. ## Comment A year later the Supreme Court applied the same method to a local authority that had failed to rehouse a family harassed by their neighbours, and found no duty, because the council had neither created the danger nor assumed responsibility for the children’s safety.[@poole2019, para 64–65] The two decisions point in different directions on their facts and rest on the same reasoning. Two difficulties remain. The line between acts and omissions is easy to state and hard to draw: an officer who opens a door and lets a violent man in has acted, but one who fails to lock it has not, and the difference may be small to the person on the other side. And the exceptions do much of the work. An assumption of responsibility can be found in a promise, a practice or the nature of a service, and the cases since *Robinson* show that the courts have not agreed how readily to find one.[^generally] The case does not resolve either difficulty; it puts them where they belong, in the analysis of established categories, and not in an open question about what is fair.
