The following excerpt is from Olson v. General Accident Assurance Co. of Canada, 1998 ABQB 405 (CanLII):
Once a case has been fully cited, any reference to such case thereafter, unless otherwise specifically indicated, is by the first indexed word by one of the parties, e.g. Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta Ltd. (1978), 1978 CanLII 1 (SCC), 83 D.L.R. (3d) 452 (S.C.C.) would be either "Andrews" or "Grand". 5.JURISPRUDENCE
