Usage

This is the standard infobox for a lawsuit / legal proceeding article, following the plain-wikitable "Field / Detail" style already used on the CECA and Attorney-General v Li Shengwu pages, rather than the boxed-and-coloured style used for people and places. Use it for court cases, tribunal proceedings, and similar legal matters.

{{Infobox-lawsuit
| court            =
| appellate_court  = <!-- optional: only if the case was appealed -->
| applicant        =
| respondent       =
| underlying_act   = <!-- optional: the post/statement/incident that triggered the case -->
| charge           =
| key_dates        =
| citation         = <!-- optional: neutral citation or law report reference, once available -->
| outcome          =
| related_cases    = <!-- optional: linked/parallel proceedings against other parties -->
}}

See Standard format for lawsuit pages for the full article structure this infobox is meant to sit inside, worked through using Attorney-General v Li Shengwu as the example.
