'''Template:Cite court''' is a no-Lua citation template for court judgments and tribunal decisions, styled after Wikipedia's {{tl|cite court}} but built only from `{{#if:}}` parser functions and plain text — no `#invoke`/Scribunto, per the wiki's hard no-Lua constraint. Display-only: it does not store data in Cargo.

==Usage==
<pre>
{{Cite court
|litigants = Case Name v Other Party
|year = 2026
|reporter = SGHC
|page = 147
|court = General Division of the High Court of Singapore
|date = 14 July 2026
|url = https://www.elitigation.sg/gd/s/2026_SGHC_147
}}
</pre>

==Parameters==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Parameter !! Required !! Notes
|-
| litigants || yes || Case name(s), '''without''' italics — the template italicises this automatically. For two originating claims heard together, separate the case names with "; ".
|-
| year || yes || Year of the neutral citation, e.g. `2026`.
|-
| reporter || yes || Report series abbreviation, e.g. `SGHC`, `SGCA`, `SGHC(A)`, `SGDC`.
|-
| page || yes || Citation number, e.g. `147`.
|-
| para || no || Pinpoint paragraph number(s), if citing a specific holding rather than the judgment as a whole.
|-
| court || no || Full name of the court, e.g. "General Division of the High Court of Singapore".
|-
| date || no || Date the judgment was delivered, in prose form (e.g. "14 July 2026").
|-
| url || no || Link to the full judgment, e.g. an eLitigation.sg URL.
|-
| url_text || no || Link display text; defaults to "elitigation.sg" if `url` is set and this is left blank.
|}

==Worked example==
<pre>
{{Cite court
|litigants = Shanmugam Kasiviswanathan v Bloomberg LP and another; Tan See Leng v Bloomberg LP and another
|year = 2026
|reporter = SGHC
|page = 147
|court = General Division of the High Court of Singapore
|date = 14 July 2026
|url = https://www.elitigation.sg/gd/s/2026_SGHC_147
}}
</pre>
renders as:
:''Shanmugam Kasiviswanathan v Bloomberg LP and another; Tan See Leng v Bloomberg LP and another'' [2026] SGHC 147, General Division of the High Court of Singapore, 14 July 2026. Full judgment: [https://www.elitigation.sg/gd/s/2026_SGHC_147 elitigation.sg].

==Notes==
* Use inside a `<ref>...</ref>` tag, same as any other citation template.
* If you only have a paragraph pinpoint and no `url`, still fill in `litigants`/`year`/`reporter`/`page` — those four are the minimum needed for the citation to be identifiable.
* This template does not attempt to distinguish between neutral citations and law-report citations (e.g. `SLR`); use whichever the source judgment carries in `reporter`.
