Journal Abbreviations

Question:
I’m just doing researching about unfair dismissal for the ....essay and I’ve found a journal cited in CaseBase but I can’t seem to find the full journal article. I can’t even seem to figure out which journal the articles is featured in!

The article is called

Byond Unfair Dismissal - Employees Find Sucess in Other Forms of Legal Redress
(2006) 9(10) IHC 113
Author(s): by Naomi Gingold and Nick Ruskin

Do you have any idea where I might be able to find this article? I can’t seem to figure out which journal IHC is an abbreviation for!

I’ve spent the last hour looking for it but I can’t seem to find it anywhere!!!

Answer:

CaseBase uses abbreviations for law reports and journals. There are a few places that you can check to find out what an abbreviation stands for. You can locate a database of abbreviations here:

Library -> Subject Guides -> Law -> Legal Abbreviations

Checking this list will tell you that IHC stands for InHouse Counsel. Unfortunately this is a journal that we do not subscribe to. You can do a search of Victorian Libraries to determine which university libraries have it, or you could check the Law Institute Library catalogue.
