British vs. American
Does anyone know if it's common to italicize latin phrases that are used in British legal documents?
I am translating a Fr>En (UK) contract, and using several common, latin legal terms (e.g. ex tax, per annum, etc.) In an American contract, these would normally be italicized, but I'm not sure how it's done in UK. Thanks very much!!!!

It is common in Australia as well, and I guess as our legal system is based on the British one it would be the case there as well. Someone from UK can add a word perhaps :-)
