Information about judgments

A judgment is the judge's decision on the matters before the Court. A judgment outlines the facts of the case, discusses the evidence and refers to the legislation and case law the decision is based upon. The amount of detail varies with each judgment.

Reading the judgments relating to your type of matter will give you a guide to the issues the Judge will need to take into account and the law applicable to your case.

Judgments published on this website have been anonymised by substituting pseudonyms for party names and, where appropriate, by editing information that would allow parties to be identified.

Judgments may be delivered orally at the end of the trial (ex tempore) or the decision may be reserved and presented formally in a written document at a later date.
