The best way to reference Halsbury’s in Harvard style is to treat it as an encyclopaedia or reference book, since that’s essentially what it is. We therefore recommend including the following information in your in-text citation:
Title (because there is no author)
Year
Volume #
Paragraph #
So for example if you were referencing the paragraph in volume 47A on Retention and assimilation of EU law into domestic law, your in-text citation would be: (Halsbury’s Laws of England, 2022, 47A, 16). If you want to pinpoint down to a subsection within the paragraph, do this in brackets after the paragraph number. So for example:
Halsbury's Laws of England (2022, 47A, 16(21)) clarifies that "'Domestic law' means the law of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland".
In your reference list you would put: Halsbury’s Laws of England (2022) London: Lexis Nexis.
