Australian Guide to Legal Citation

The Question
Would you happen to know the volume number for this citation:
Burrows, 'Reforming Privity of Contract: Law Commission Report No.242 [1996], Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quaterly 467, 468-71.
The Answer
The Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC) usually requires a volume number but not all journals have volume numbers - for some journals the year of publication is the volume number. If this happens use square brackets around the year.
Examples:
Charles Mitchell, ‘Tracing Trust Funds into Insurance Proceeds’ [1997] Lloyd’s Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly 465.

William Swadling, ‘A Claim in Restitution?’ [1996] Lloyd’s Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly 63.
