Draft Judgement

Following any appeal hearing where the court reserves judgement and indicates that judgement is to be handed down at a later date, it should be understood by all parties that the draft judgement is embargoed and its contents confidential to counsel and solicitors in the case.

When a draft judgement is received it is to be treated confidentially, on the understanding that it has been provided to give counsel in the case the opportunity to bring to the courts attention any important factual error or omission or typographical errors prior to the ruling being handed down. A draft judgement is clearly marked on its face as confidential.

This is a draft judgement, subject to the changes indicated above, and may not necessarily be the final form of judgement.
