Not “wrong in law” for judges to change transcripts

Bath v Escott [2017] EWHC 1101 (Ch) (11 May 2017)

The judgment in this case is an important authority decision of the High Court (Chancery Division) that confirms the position that it is not “wrong in law” for judges to amend transcripts of judgments to better explain the reasons behind their decisions. The distinction being drawn that "Judgments", in the popular sense, express only the courts' reasons for its decisions and that “Orders of the Court” express the courts' decisions.

 The Judgment should be read in its entirety for context and proper interpretation of the Courts findings / judgment.
